Penzance Promenade after Ash Wednesday storm 7th March 1962 picture uploaded by Simon Row1
Of course we will, this was nothing compared to 1817. Penzance has been kicked and blown a number of times, and what we have had this last century was but a burst ballon compared to some. I tell you this much, I hope when it does that I am fit and able to be down there getting the pictures whilst it happens; I also hope and trust we get no more mad brained ideas as to protection and I pray that no one gets hurt or loses life.
 
Actually, looking at the damage done in 1880 and 1895, we got off quite lightly in 1962. I am not being morose, or negative here when I say - we are definitely going to get a bad sea/tide/weather combination again.
 
I was at St Marys school at the time of these storms, and hated the place!! So when this storm arrived it was a happy time for a lot of us as the school had to stay closed (cant remember for how long) bliss !!!
