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.

This narrow St Ives street got its name from a rabbit warren once situated there. The street was also used at one time as a convenient ‘rope walk’ where ropes were made for the fishing industry.
