Polgigga
Polgigga (or Poljigga) is a hamlet in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, on the B3315 Land's End to Penzance road and within the civil parish of St Levan. Polgigga is west of Penzance and east of Land's End. The hamlet used to be home to its own winery and a blacksmith's and is now almost entirely residential. The poet and writer Dylan Thomas lived here for a short period in 1936. Nearby settlements include Trebehor, Trethewey and Bottoms. ==Toponymy== Polgigga (or Poljigga) is mentioned in 1327 as Pensiger, meaning ''head of a stream called Syger''. "Syger" in Cornish means ''lazy'', in this case a slow moving stream. Alternatively "pol" is Cornish for ''pool'' and "legegas" is Cornish for ''heifer'', referring to the small pond near the Vineries.〔
