It’s free to join Picture Penzance and with our large community of likeminded members there’s plenty to do. We have over 17,000 images, mystery games, local topics, news, views and so much more.
So why not join one of the largest local online communities in Penwith!

» Welcome to pp |
Welcome to Picture Penzance your on line community.
Picture Penzance was started on 9th January 2008 by Steffan, Tracey, Jason and Andrew Barnes. Picture Penzance was launched in January 2008 with a total of 124 pictures, no forum or portal and 4 members; now two years on things are very different. If you’re looking for a strong community of local, knowledgeable pleasant people look no further. Picture Penzance has the largest collection of pictures of Penwith with more than 17,500 members photos and a further 2,000 main category pictures spanning through hundreds of years. We have over 1400 members and our newsletter database has more than 2,000 subscribers, a very busy forum with hot topics and a fully fledged portal.
Picture Penzance became a non profit organisation in April 2008 and after trying desperately to get funds from local sources we finally gave that idea up and became self funded.
We raise funds to keep the site running by buying quality branded cosmetics and selling them for profit. All the profit made is then ploughed back into the site to pay for server costs, bandwidth, software and other running costs. We do the hard work so that the site is free to use!
None of the directors draw a wage or claim expenses, and the administrators all volunteer their services for free!
The original idea of Picture Penzance was to document by way of photograph, wherever possible, the town of Penzance Cornwall. Frustrated at the lack of information available to people through the Internet of the town, Picture Penzance was created to fill that gap. Later it was decided to move the boundaries to include Penwith and the Isles of Scilly, hence the caption "incorporating Penwith"
Our extensive library of photographs is available to all members and membership is totally free.
On the fun side of things we have spot the difference games, a Mystery picture section (guess the location of the picture), Bitz “N” Pieces music quiz, a forum full of hot local topic like the controversial plans and arguments surrounding the harbour development

It seems that the harbour development argument goes on and on.
But we’ve noticed that it’s hard to get the facts about the development. I’ve personally visited plenty of online debates but not one of them has all the proposals with access to each of the groups.
We have been in contact with the following and have invited all parties to join us here at Picture Penzance. The idea is that all of the information you need to make an informed decision will be available here in one place. No matter what scheme you are looking for, no matter if you are a business, resident, Isles of Scilly resident or business, or simply a concerned outsider then you should be able to get those answers on the forum.
I’ve been in contact with Route Partnership, John Maggs and Charlie Cartwright in the hope that all three will populate a special forum for this purpose. We have a team of administrators ready to help.
Although we have openly supported plan “C” we are aware that we will need to be neutral for this to work. Therefore each organisation will be given the same support and access to our members. The sole aim of this project is to get information to the people and business of both Penzance and the Isle of Scilly and offer them direct access to those who can accurately answer any questions they have.
The forum is open to the public and you will be able to read everything .... nothing will be hidden!
If you want to join in the debate you will need to register. This is to prevent abuse.
