High Cross Post Office, Truro, Cornwall. Around 1900
A view from Kings Street looking across into High Cross with the Post office building built in 1886 by Silvanus Trevail in the centre of the picture. A group of people have taken the opportunity to pose for the camera. The clock in the Post Office window reads 10.35. The letter box set in the wall below the clock has a large V R with a crown between the lettering. The gas lamp with a boy leaning against it has a mantle with the words Post Office on the glass. On the roof of the Post Office a telegraph pole and wires can be seen. F. E. Argalls photographic studio can be seen on the right, alongside R.J. Hendras plumbing shop. Just in the picture on the right is a building that was a theatre. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan
