More about this scene
With such a fine view across the bay to St Ives, it is little surprise that holidaymakers should have come to camp at Hayle Towans. This photograph captures the camping scene of the period, with bell tents and early caravans or mobile homes. A few houses and chalets line the clifftop to ensure the best views.

My great grandad was a skilled coppersmith and upon moving up into England made copper parts for boat engines and fixed ships out at sea when they were in trouble. I would like to know more about this side of my family
