Pasties

 I learnt to surf at the beaches of "Porthmeor" St Ives and "Gwithian" nr Hayle both under the eye of Godrevy Lighthouse.  Gwithian was featured on this advert for Ginsters Cornish Pasties.



Both my mother and my "Pirate" uncle Keith Ryan ( the Cornish pasty webmaster ) came from Hayle which hosts three of the best known makers of Cornish pasties in the country.


Hampsons

Warrens






The warrens bakery in Foundry Square , Hayle was my Grandfathers shop in former times and the flat above it was where mum was born , My Grandfather also used to sell tomatoes from my uncle Keiths fathers farm in Trelissick. 

Born Hayle 23 Feb 1893 in Mexico Terrace, Mexico Towans, Phillack
