The bend at Alverton Bridge

To the left, the old lean-to of what is now named Tredarvah Farm, it was never a farm and the name Tredarvah was brought to this area when the Harvey Family moved from Hayle (c1885) to build their house on the land on the Weeths, seen on the left on the rising land. Between the cottage ground and the Weeths is a pathway, which rose around the hill to gain access to the water supply channel. There is a picture of the steps and pathway here in the albums. The name Tredarvah Farm did not appear until around 1908. The Harvey Family were living in Trevear, Alverton Terrace whilst the House was being built. As a matter of interest, the same decorative treatment on the external walls of Tredarvah House may be seen on another house in Penzance. On the roadside can be seen a cottage and store, demolished for road widening.
