St Agnes Lifeboat Station was opened in 1968 and is based in St Agnes, Cornwall, South West England. It is operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Until 2015 the station's lifeboats were sponsored by BBC TV's Blue Peter programme and named Blue Peter IV.
History
The station was opened in 1968 as a base for a D-class Inshore Lifeboat (ILB). It was one of four lifeboats paid for from Blue Peter's viewers donating paperback books. A small boathouse was provided on the road to Trevaunace Cove. A house a short distance higher up the road was converted for crew facilities and fund raising in 2004.
The Duke of Kent visited the station in 1978 and again in 2005 in his role as president of the RNLI.
