Abstract: |
The St Clare's site is situated on the north-west side of Penzance at NGR SW 4663 3068. It is currently the site of Cornwall Council's One Stop Shop and also includes the former Council nursery and greenhouses and a sports pitch to the west. During the early 19th century a large villa (York House- site 35) was built on the site with associated gardens and designed landscape. Another large residence of probable earlier date (St Clare Cottage- site 46) stood on the site of the present fire station. Although St Clare Cottage was demolished in the late 20th century, York House remains standing and is now in use as part of the Council Offices; it is a grade II listed building. The original building has been added to throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and its function has changed over time from a grand home to a school and finally to council offices. Cornwall Archaeological Unit has been asked by Iain Thomson of Cornwall Council's Property Services to carry out a Heritage Assessment of the St Clare's site in response to pre planning application advice. |
