Baby

The body of a newly born child was found below the Promenade at Penzance.

The police were called at about 1.50pm on Sunday 19 October 1941 to a spot midway between two public shelters, almost opposite the pavilion, where they saw some bloodstained rags in some barb wire on the promenade. When they then looked down on to a ledge about seven feet below they saw the unclothed body of a baby.
