Item: St Anthony Gardens and the Jubilee Bathing Pool, Penzance
Description: St Anthony is the patron saint of fishermen and it was on the rocks to the left of the picture that it is believed there was a fisherman's chapel in the eleventh century. Known as Pen Sans in Cornish, Holy Headland in English, it gave the name to the town of Penzance. Stones from this chapel are in evidence in the gardens in 2011 and its cross is in St Mary's churchyard. The gardens were built in 1933 as part of the national slum clearances on the former Battery Square. The Jubilee Pool was built in 1935 as an art deco lido.
