    My gran grew up there from 1914. She remembered the wreck from 1921, chapel visits to the holy well and when the Germans bombed penhale camp in 1940. My grandfather helped built penhale army camp. He also served in the army sappers in N Africa and Italy. My g grandfather was a tin miner and all knew how to use explosives. He was a mine captain in the mines under perranporth and st agnes. I grew up at Rose in the 1970s and 80s, and Holywell not surprisingly is the first beach I remember in my life, with Perranporth, Polly Joke, Crantock and St Agnes next.

Visited the well cave a few times, it's a place I love to show people, cos the cave looks uninteresting from the outside, but the well is spectacular.

    I'm sure that waters about as clean as freshwater can be after trickling through all that rock for however long. It's probably full of minerals too. That's probably why sick people who had been drinking shitty medieval town water got better if they slept in that cave for a week drinking spring water.
