Where to Find Us
Our Research Centre is housed in the old St Uny School building at the rear of the Wesley Methodist Church, Carbis Bay. Access is to the left side of the church and does involve some steps. This may be difficult, especially for wheelchair users. Prior notice of your needs will help considerably in making your visit as agreeable as we can accomplish.
Car parking is not available at the Archive or along St Ives Road. There is parking in the residential area of Higher Boskerris but we ask visitors to be respectful of the needs of local residents.
