Site Launch

The Penzance community WebSite "Penzance OnLine", which was initially sponsored by the Penzance Chamber of Commerce, was originally launched on Tuesday, May 18th 1999 to coincide with the official opening on the same day of the Wharfside Shopping Centre by H.R.H. Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall. The Wharfside Shopping Centre, which links Market Jew Street - the main street of Penzance - with the waterfront and harbour area, extends the range of shopping facilities in the town bringing Penzance to the forefront amongst retail and shopping locations in Cornwall.

The site layout has been totally re-designed in 2013 to include a number of modern features and additional content.

General Site Update

While it is hoped that this section of the site is correctly up-to-date, the Editors would be grateful for information from any Traders or other Site Users which may lead to correction of any errors - any such details can be sent via the Advertisers & Listings section of the site.
