Description: Nestled where three rivers meet, Truro has grown from an ancient crossing point into Cornwall's only city, and this richly detailed portrait traces every step of that transformation. From medieval market charters and stannary coinage to the Georgian townhouses of Boscawen Street and the soaring Victorian cathedral, the book explores how tin, trade, and tidal waters shaped a distinctive urban landscape. Along the way, readers discover the assembly rooms, cultural venues, and steep streetscapes that give Truro its particular character. A concise yet vivid guide for anyone curious about the layers of history beneath a lively Cornish city.
