The Causewayhead
The Causewayhead is so-named to indicate where the paved streets of the town gave way to the country road leading to Madron, where the mother church was located. In 1871 St. Mary's parish was established in Penzance, so this road became less travelled as church-goers could then worship in Penzance. This pedestrian street was one of the busiest streets in Penzance, hosting everything from slaughterhouses to tradesmen with their businesses.
