Let's continue our look around Penzance.  Sheltered by Mount's Bay, Penzance faces onto the English Channel with the largest UK fishing port of Newlyn to its west and the parish of Madron with whom it has close ties to its north.  This location ensures Penzance's temperate climate which means it is milder than most of the rest of the UK.

Named after the church that stood on the headland – Penzance means Holy Headland in Cornish – over a thousand years ago, Penzance existed as a small settlement from pre-historic times.  Its location also has meant that over the centuries, Penzance has come under attack by the Spanish and pirates.  And notably by a tsunami in the 18^th century!  The tsunami travelled from an earthquake epicentre in Lisbon, Portugal some 1,000 miles away bringing an eight foot surge of the sea around Penzance.  The surge was quick and receded quickly too and no damage was recorded.

Penzance really began to flourish and grow in the 15^th – 17^th centuries after being granted charters for markets and fairs, for permissions to charge harbour dues and granted the status of 'borough'.  The arrival of the railway in the mid 19^th century was good not only for the local economy but meant Penzance was accessible to tourists and those suffering less than good health were attracted by the mild climate.

If Penzance has attracted you to retire to the area or if you have been lucky enough to live here all your life, but now need some help to get about, Castle Comfort Stair Lifts have some solutions.  We can advise on the type of stairlift and also part exchange your old one for a newer version.  Castle Comfort can also point you in the direction of stairlift grants or 0% credit options.  Remember you can use our £50 voucher towards your purchase.
