Lemon Quay from Back Quay, Truro, Cornwall. Mid 1940s, towards the end of the Second World War
A view from Back Quay towards Taylors Transport Ltd.'s garage with the car park full of lorries. Just out of frame, on the right, are the premises of H.T.P. Motors Ltd. During the Second World War, H.T.P. handed the Army most of their stock of cars and commercial vehicles and purchased transport generally for Government purposes. Large cars were converted to ambulances and essential civilian motor transport was provided and maintained. Ranging from armament production to the repair of Spitfire components, H.T.P.'s activities extended and multiplied rapidly with the country's growing demands. The parked vehicles are awaiting maintenance or conversion in the H.T.P. Auxiliary Army Workshop. Photographer: unknown

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.

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. Argall's photographic studio can be seen on the right, alongside R.J. Hendra's plumbing shop. Just in the picture on the right is a building that was a theatre. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan
