A photograph of a view of Penzance taken from the south pier. Albert Pier is to the right. Branwell's Mill can be seen centrally with the train station to the right and the old gas works to the far left. Penzance Catholic Church of 'the Immaculate Conception of our Lady' stands just to the left of Branwell's Mill in the background. Many buoys lie in the water with a few wooden fishing boats in the harbour. This was photographed before this area was filled in and became a car park.
