The 'Norard Slip'. Oh! Is that what it's called? Where did it get that name from I wonder. I needed that name yesterday for the McGrigor Monument but used 'the hill that leads up to Fore St' or something similar. I believe Newlyn was cut off from Penzance here at high tide before a road was built.
There was a physical separation between Newlyn Town and Street an Nowan until 1908 when the first road linking the two settlements directly was built across the harbour on reclaimed land; until this time
links were via the paths on higher ground behind the settlements. The link would have been completed much earlier but there was a lot of protest amid fears that the work would mean a sizable increase in rates.
