  • Ambience Transport Interchange
    Due to the curve of the harbour and railway area there is plenty of opportunity for views of the backdrop as described in the Landscape and Setting section, and there are views from the north across the sea of parked cars to ships masts and the bottom of the Barbican area. From the south end the views are more fragmented, with the backs of properties on Market Jew Street, the Wharfside development and railway station all lost in a melee of cars, signs and traffic signals. The view of the Abbey Basin, although compromised by signs, some modern railings, poles and landscaping schemes, is one of the best known in Penzance, immortalised by Stanhope Forbes. Ambience Near to Wharfside and the bus & railway stations road traffic dominates, while at the southern end there is the added factor of this being a working harbour, usually bustling with workmen, cranes, forklift trucks, deliveries and boat movements. While outside the new development at Wharfside pavements are wide, it is often an intimidating environment for pedestrians, who are confined along Wharf Road to a relatively narrow pavement. Even around the Wharfside area where attempts have been made by local businesses to provide pleasant outdoor areas to eat, this is spoilt by constant traffic fumes. On a quiet day, though, there is opportunity to enjoy the historic structures, buildings and boats of the working harbour and the rhythm created by the tide. In the season the inner harbour, always kept with water, is host to visiting tall ships, one of the major attractions of the area.

  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.

In keeping with Penzance’s wonderful location our theme this year is “Golowan – All at Sea” - a tongue in cheek invitation to celebrate our amazing maritime heritage, and reflect it in a blaze of nautical imagery. However, “All at Sea!” couldn’t be wider of the mark, as the focus of everyone has been to ensure that, while cherishing established traditions, new things are tried, new partnerships secured and Golowan goes from strength to strength. All the elements for a great weekend are here - the mid-summer torchlit procession, serpent dancing and fireworks, the manic Mock Mayor of the Quay ceremony, music and market stalls, parades… and so much more… Golowan’s Quay Fair offers all the fun of the fair on Battery Road from 21st – 25th June and – last, but not least – Golowan 2017 sees the return of the marquee in St Anthony’s Car Park where Big Tow Productions will host a range of events – including the Mock Mayor election.
