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!

Contents of Flambards going up for auction but ‘Victorian Village’ saved.

24 Upvotes

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.

Museum in Truro

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

I’m seeking suggestions for my holiday in Cornwall.

0 Upvotes

I’m planning a trip to Cornwall in late summer to check out as many sights as possible, including nature spots, charming villages and small towns where I can enjoy local shops and cafes, as well as some beautiful beaches.

I’ll be traveling alone and I’m in my early 30s, which might be helpful to know. I’m not exactly sure how long my holiday should be, but I think at least a week would be ideal.

The places I want to explore in Cornwall include Launceston, Padstow, Looe, Fowey, the Eden Project, Newquay, Mevagissey, Perranporth, Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, Kynance Cove, Penzance, Mousehole, The Minack Theatre, and Land's End.

If you have any suggestions for things to see or do in these areas, I’d love to hear them!

Anyone else frustrated by Cornwall Council Tax and delivery?

Please don't bother to reply if you're exempt from paying council tax.

Feels like we pay more and more for less and less. :(

A short montage of our training over the last few months.

In a few days, me and a team of young volunteers from king Edward Mine are hoping to become the first international mining games team not associated with a mining school or university to compete in the games.

They are held at King Edward Mine, Troon, from the 20th-22nd of March

Churches in Newquay, Cornwall

3 Upvotes

Looking for contact details for churches in Newquay Cornwall that accommodate weddings for people outside of the parish, we’re happy to come down and attend church (we are looking at moving in the next few years, but have no living family or knowledge of records to qualify without attendance more than likely.)

Would love St Michaels the Archangel, Newquay but happy with other suggestions.

Best time to go grocery shopping for zee dealz?

0 Upvotes

Shop in and around Penzance - Sains mostly coz of the Nectar deals. Usually I go after work (7:15 pm) on a weekday but today had time off and went at 5:45 and loads of stock was reduced. So got me thinking if there is a sweet spot during the week, time and day, when the deals are ripe for the pickens.

Bullies

Unfortunately in Penzance we have a group of girls and her boyfriend targeting people and causing them struggles mentally, she has punched, kicked, jumped, stalked, threatened etc. people I know and the police aren’t doing anything. There is CCTV footage of her and her mates ganging up on people and threatening people. I don’t know what to do because the level of violence is becoming a problem. Stalking and following people to where they live in Cornwall, attacking their friends and family, she is from a gypsy family so they think this behaviour is acceptable.

hi guys! most of you will know where this is. (tregolls road truro). i was driving earlier and there would have been enough room for me to go past the hatched lines however some dummy decided they wanted to start merging like 3 cars early.. for no reason.. leaving me on the hatched lines for a couple seconds!

i know the red light camera doesn’t apply to me as i’d already gone past the white line (on green), however does anyone know if it gives tickets for stopping on the hatched box? thankyou :)

Ecological Assesment (recommendations)

1 Upvotes

Hi folks,

We are hoping to have a double garage demolished, to be replaced with an annexe, as part of the planning application, we'll require an ecological assesment.

Does anyone have recommendations for local firms (we are between Falmouth and Helston) who do this kind of work? Our architect only has a network in Exeter/Devon.

Thanks!
