Like A Fairy Castle -- The first thing the visitor to ***** the corner is this fairy castle structure rising ***** it is St. Michael's Mount at Penzance, and is a castle ***** a mountain, with an old harbour. When the tide recedes it is possible to walk to the mountain from the land. Many centuries ago, this mountain was part of England and Cornish rumours still have it that between the mountain and the mainland is a forest and cottages beneath the sea which at one time housed the people of that time. The first thing the visitor to Penzance sees as he rounds the corner is this fairy castle structure rising from the sea. . . St. Michael's Mount. July 22, 1935. (Photo by Keystone).
