Truro, a picturesque city nestled in the heart of Cornwall County, is a place steeped in history and natural beauty. As you explore its charming streets, you'll come across landmarks that tell tales of bygone eras. One such landmark is the Truro Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that dominates the city's skyline. Its towering spires and intricate design are a testament to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Inside, the cathedral exudes an air of tranquility and spirituality. Travel back in time with us to July 8th, 1912 - take a stroll along Malpas Ferry and gaze towards Ferryside Cottage and the Ferry House on St Michael Penkivel side. The view is simply breathtaking; it transports you to an era when life moved at a slower pace. But Truro isn't just about serene landscapes; it has its urban charms too. No 3440 City stands proudly at Westbourne Terrace in London as a symbol of this vibrant city's connection to the rest of England. Let's venture further into Cornwall's countryside - Carclew House in Mylor awaits our arrival. On March 15th, 1912, we step into its drawing room and entrance hall adorned with elegance from another time. These rooms whisper stories of gatherings filled with laughter and conversation among friends. As we journey through time again to early 1900s Truro, we find ourselves amidst Furzupland in Kenwyn covered by a blanket of snow. The sight evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when winters were truly magical. And let us not forget Tregothnan landing at St Michael Penkivel where Malpas Ferry gracefully docks around 1887. This spot serves as a reminder that Truro was once bustling with maritime activity - ships coming and going carrying goods from far-flung corners of Europe.
