St Ives is a seaside town, civil parish
and port in Cornwall. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on
the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on
fishing. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial
emphasis, and the town is now primarily a popular seaside resort.
The origin
of St Ives is attributed in legend to the arrival of the Irish saint Ia of
Cornwall, in the 5th century. The parish church bears her name, and St Ives
derives from it.
St Ives was the most important fishing port on the north
coast. The pier was built by John Smeaton in 1767–70 but has been lengthened at
a later date. The octagonal lookout with a cupola belongs to Smeaton's
design. More
