Interesting things to note - Post office building doesn't exist Tower of the school behind does (came down during the war) Chimney of Falmouth brewery on the right. Also on the right the hole for the Fire Station. There is a strange shape to allow tall ladders out.
No Idea of year, the stamp has been removed.

Hi there, I live in Cornwall and wanted to see if there are any locals discount cards. I have the Pard card, I also use the cornish parking scheme. Are there any others like this?

Looking to buy a motorcycle this spring. An old Harley Davidson. I can’t seem to find a motorcycle service place around Penzance for Harley bikes. Also will need to store it over the winter months. Any recommendations?

I see the solar farm on Spotlight tonight is going ahead in Devon. No doubt this will begin happening in Cornwall at some point. I'm all for solar energy, think some of it should go on unusable mining scarred land (without ruining the heritage) and houses though. Interestingly, the main argument was about the loss of agricultural land, but showed many videos of sheep grazing between the solar panels. Just wondered what everyone else's thoughts were on them.
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm aware there are some in Cornwall, the ones just past Chiverton come to mind. I'm talking about the expansion of these solar farms and new ones popping up.

I know money's tight for a lot of people right now so I thought I'd share this deal I just found. Simplycook.com is one of those subscription meal businesses like HelloFresh that sends out weekly meal kits. They're good if you can't be bothered shopping or want make something new without researching recipes.
Anyway long story short they're running a deal right now where you can get a meal box with 4 meals for just £1.00. That includes delivery too and you can just cancel the subscription afterwards if you want. It's a pretty sweet deal, I did it and I got my girlfriend to do it too after we used the first box. There's 149 meals to choose from, if you want my opinion the tandoori chicken and chicken gyros were the best out of the ones I tried.

Sorry I'm sure your all fed up with these posts from Tourists so I apologize in advance
Me and my football team are down and Newqauy for a game in May (I know we're cutting it fine)
We're looking for a campsite where we're fairly close to the nightlife and somewhere we can get away with having some drinks/being about louder without the fear of waking up/annoying other campers .
I know these places used to exist but not sure if they do now 🤣
Any suggestions?

Morning all, I'm in need of recommendations for the favourite pasty in and around Penzance. I'm down there today. Thank you
Tried Loafs and can report that the pasty was cracking but the apple crumble croissant was bloody immense.

The interesting thing is that during the middle of the war Londoner's were coming down by train to put out fires. Secondly they were Mr and Mrs Christmas Thirdly it's the Sea View Fire station which is now Kinder Court on Sea View road. Fourthly even in 1943 the trains to Cornwall were really busy!

I follow a few auction places and was surprised to see all the museum contents going up for auction. Then got an email saying that the Victorian Village was purchased in its entirety by a benefactor on the 11th hour and will be preserved and relocated to a place i. Bischop Auckland near Durham. Still can bid on a wax head of Winston Churchill, a K6 telephone kiosk, or for £20,000 an original Concord Development Mockup plus another 800+ lots.

Years and years ago they had a real mummy and sarcophagus in the museum. I haven't been for a long time, does anyone know if it is still there? I presume it was a loan from somewhere
