The Submerged Landscape of Mount’s Bay

Our series of Winter Events continues with an illustrated talk by eminent local geologist Francis Howie on “The Submerged Landscape of Mount’s Bay”.

Francis worked for many years at London’s Natural History Museum, retired to Penwith, and is now Chairman of the Cornwall Geoconservation Group.

He will explain how the Bay area has undergone huge changes over many millions of years, and how it has come to be how we know it today.

This talk will take place on Wednesday 19th February in the function room of the Lugger Inn, Marine Terrace, Penzance, starting at 7.30 pm.

As before, there will be a £2 admission fee, and a collection for a charity of the speaker’s choice.

So – do come along. Hear about the Legend of Lyonesse, discover a sunken forest, and find out where the old volcano is now.

We look forward to seeing you there.
