In Kelly's Directory, 1935, T. R. Jasper is at 23 Causewayhead. Lanxon Brothers are at no. 18. There is no mention of T. R. Jasper in 1939 Kellys

I have a couple of Daily Doings. I've had them for a few years but can't remember where I bought them. Possibly bought them when Diane Richards had 'The Old Post Office' in Chapel Street. My favourites are the Kellys Directories which I use to buy from Bernard in New Steet. His prices were...

There was a biscuit factory in Foundry Square, Hayle. Its possible Alexandra Ashwell worked there. Don't forget the railway came to Penzance in the 1850's. Your census entry is a bit vague cus the dates you have quoted would not have had the detail you gave. Should that entry be from the 1901...

The word is SEA gull and that is where they should be. I love to see them flying from the cliffs, perching on the prom railings and bobbing up and down on the SEA. What really drives me mad, especially when I have a line of clean washing out, are 2 of my elderly neighbours who insist on...

I am too tired to read all the replies to The Tescopoly. My main concern, which the Tesco representative never gave a 'concrete'! answer to; "Was there going to be safer access crossing the A.30 road?". At the moment one takes their life in their own hands. There is no underpath, no pelican...

Are you looking at Humphry Davy School, from Trannack?
