Gwavas
Gwavas is a residential council estate on the southern outskirts of the town of Newlyn in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated immediately west of Gwavas Road and takes its name from nearby Gwavas Farm.〔() Cornwall Council online mapping. Retrieved June 2010〕 ==History and geography== The name Gwavas derives from the Cornish "gwaf" meaning winter, and "bos" meaning abode. The estate was built by Penzance Borough Council in 1937 following limited slum clearance in the harbour area of Newlyn. The slum clearance programme was intended to be much larger but many houses were saved following the famous Rosebud Campaign.〔() Newlyn website〕 Situated on hilly ground, Gwavas〔〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 contributes to much of the Penzance South Ward's high standing on the UK government's index of deprivation . Most of the housing stock is now in the ownership of Penwith Housing Association following the sale of Penwith council housing stock in 1994.
