Wondering if anyone on the list has some local history knowledge of an abandoned piece of property on South Place Folly in Penzance. This lane, lined with terrace homes on the right side, has what seems to be an old torn down lot across from it. South Place Folly is one block up from the large hotel along the promenade. My great grandparents lived at 4 South Place Folly from 1901 to 1930. Years ago the story which was passed down to me was that my grandmother met my grandfather there because he was working at the "fish and chip" shop which was on the same lane. Can anyone confirm for me that this broken down property is that place? Many thanks Anne
