Kynance Mews

Kynance Mews is a cobbled mews divided at Launceston Place into two parts. Both ends of Kynance Mews are entered through an arch, and the arches are listed buildings.

Kynance Mews was part of the Broadwood Estate which was developed from the 1860's onwards and originally built as stables for Cornwall Gardens by Welchman and Gale. The name "Kynance" has Cornish associations: Kynance Cove near Lizard Point.
