Penzance, Cornwall

Penzance, or Pensans to give it its Cornish name, is a major Cornish town located at the start of the Penwith peninsula and beside the coast. Penzance is located next to Newlyn, one of the largest fishing ports in Britain. Penzance is located in Mount's Bay, a large bay between the Penwith and Lizard peninsulas. It is the first and last train stop in the UK and the last major town. The town was granted a number of royal charters from 1512, however the town was incorporated on 9th May 1614. In the 2011 census, Penzance had a population of 21,200. The name Penzance derives from its Cornish name, Pensans, which means 'holy headland'. There was once a chapel here, dedicated to St Anthony, around where Penzance Harbour now is however that chapel has been long gone. The first recording of inhabitants in Penzance is during the Bronze Age, approximately 3,000 years ago, and a number of Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the town, especially in the Alverton area. During the Iron Age, an iron age round called Lescudjack Castle was built. This is located at the end of a housing estate and, although partly destroyed, it is still very much visible as an Iron Age round. One of Penzance's most famous "children" is Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor of the miners safety lamp and Nitrous Oxide, which he named 'Laughing Gas' after it made him laugh when experimenting with it. He also isolated for the first time ever the elements of Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, Magnesium, Boron and discovering the elemental nature of Chlorine and Iodine, which shaped Science forever. Penzance's town centre consists mainly on six streets. These six streets are Market Jew Street, The Greenmarket, Causewayhead, Alverton Street, Chapel Street and Wharf Road. There is also a shopping centre here called Wharfside Shopping Centre which is used to get from the car park by Penzance Harbour to the town centre. Penzance was originally made up of a number of different parishes, with the majority of the town being part of St Mary's parish, which is associated with St Mary's Church, the largest church. These parishes have now been merged to join the larger Penzance parish. This parish is bordered by the parishes of Paul, Madron, and Ludgvan. Penzance is one of Cornwall's largest towns and is approximately 2 miles long by 1.4 miles wide. 0:00 Intro 0:11 Penzance Promenade 1:20 Battery Rocks 1:47 Penzance Harbour 2:31 Wharfside Shopping Centre 3:13 Town Centre 5:11 Penzance Train Station
