Extracts From Marazion & Cornwall books
Climbing out of Marazion on the way towards Helston, it was still possible at this date to drive two horses on the wrong side of the road with little fear of a collision. On the right is a welcome water point and drinking trough.

This photograph was taken from above the town of Marazion; the view shows clearly how the famous Mount is reached by a causeway at low tide. Legend has it that Mediterranean traders came here to Ictis (as the place was called then) to trade for tin.

The Hotel has a fine cloak of ivy. Tregenna Castle is still one of St Ives’ best known hotels, and now boasts a golf course amongst its many facilities.

The putting green lies above Porthminster Beach. It was here, on rough sandy banks, that the St Ives pilchard fishing boats of the 19th century were drawn up clear of the beach. St Ives Station can be seen directly behind the boy in the foreground.

A view looking along St Andrew’s Street to the Parish Church of St Ia. The church was built in the early 15th century using granite quarried from sea-level cliffs near Zennor, a few miles west along the coast. The granite was carried by boat to St Ives.
