    YHA (England and Wales) Youth Hostel Profile compiled by the Association’s volunteer archivist, John Martin, rev2020-01-01 Perranporth and Portreath area Youth Hostels Wheal Kitty (St Agnes) Youth Hostel 1936 to 1939 or 1940 Wheal Kitty Hostel, St Agnes, Cornwall Historic County: Cornwall YHA Region: Devon & Cornwall GR: SW 724513 approx. Note: the Grid Reference is based loosely on the rough sketchmap from the Regional Guide, shown below. The 1936 YHA handbook announced that Wheal Kitty (also called St Agnes) youth hostel was to open at Easter in that year. It consisted of substantial timber huts, possibly barrack or service huts connected with the former tin mines, closed by 1930. They could hold 40 hostellers. The warden in 1937 was Mr Weymouth-Wilson. Accommodation may have expanded to as many as 49 in that year, though evidence is conflicting. 1 2 1: Wheal Kitty youth hostel – sketch map and information from the 1937 regional guide; 2: cyclists arrive at their Cornish destination. The precise location of the huts is yet to be determined, but they were probably close to the modern business park of the same name that uses both the traditional tin mine complex and newer buildings. Another guide book placed the hostel at two minutes’ walk from Peterville (both author’s collection) 1 Charles Allan was YHA’s regional secretary in Devon and Cornwall in the 1930s. Almost 50 years later, he recalled in great detail the way this hostel was run: A hostel building situated within the boundary of the Old Wheal Kitty mine workings.
