Mousehole

Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary and hospital based near Mousehole, a village in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The Hospital accepts both land and sea birds in need of care, to heal and return them to the wild. If this is not possible and they take kindly to captivity, then they are given sanctuary for the remainder of their lives. Those beyond help are painlessly destroyed. During each year approximately 1000 birds are treated at the Hospital, and about 80 permanent residents. The Staff care for the birds 365 days a year in the same tradition as the founders. The hospital was founded in 1928 by Dorothy and Phyllis Yglesias. Over the years the Sanctuary has become famous, especially so during the 1967 Torrey Canyon disaster, when over 8,000 oiled birds passed through the Hospital.

Penlee Point (Cornish: Penn Legh, meaning ‘stone-slab headland’) is a promontory near the coastal fishing village of Mousehole in west Cornwall, England, UK. It was the launching point of the Penlee lifeboat, which was lost in the disaster of 1981. In 1883, Mr J Runnalls employed seventy people at the Penlee quarries and stone-mills. The stone was wholly used for road-making and was claimed to be one of the most durable available. On one square inch of stone, it took a pressure of 29.011 lbs to crush the stone and on one square foot, it took 1365 tons. Stone was exported to Welsh ports instead of ballast and to Bristol, Ipswich, London and Lowestoft for roads. Stone to London was taken weekly by steamer from Penzance and by sailing vessels from Mousehole.In 1990 Penlee Point was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geological interest. The SSSI includes two small disused quarries as well as the cliff and foreshore.
