Battery Rocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battery Rocks (grid reference SW477298) are a rocky outcrop situated to the west of the harbour of Penzance, Cornwall, UK. The rocks take their name from a gun battery that was situated there from 1739, following a petition by Penzance Borough council for protection from French naval attacks. The rocks are currently home to the Penzance war memorial and the outdoor Jubilee Pool - a restored example of an art deco lido.
