About

Penzance East covers the central and eastern parts of the town, extending inland from the harbour and promenade. The area includes the main commercial streets with shops, banks, and the traditional Market House. Residential streets of Victorian and Georgian terraces climb the slopes away from the town centre, leading towards the green space of Morrab Gardens. This ward contains the principal transport links, including the railway station and bus depot.

The ward is home to the distinctive Egyptian House on Chapel Street, a notable example of Regency-era decoration. The area encompasses the Penlee Memorial Park and the eastern approach roads into the town. Land use is a mix of retail, services, and housing, with the working harbour and its associated industries forming a key part of the local economy. The boundary runs roughly along the line of Alexandra Road and Alverton Street.
