TRURO THEN & NOW by Christine Parnell
Historic Truro has undergone many changes over the years. Once an important centre of trade from its port, it has also been a stannery town for the mining industry and is today Cornwall's bustling retail capital. Expertly narrated by local historian Christine Parnell, Truro Then & Now explores the history of this fascinating town through ninety stunning full-colour photographs, taking the reader on a nostalgic journey which should not be missed.
Parnell, Christine: - Christine Parnell has always had an interest in the history of her home town and apart from twenty years exiled in other towns in Devon and Cornwall due to her late husband's occupation she thinks there is nowhere better to live. She has been the secretary of Truro Old Cornwall Society since 1995 and previously, when at grammar school represented Truro on various local knowledge quiz television programmes several times. She can sometimes be seen leading a group of interested people on a historical walk of the town, but never on a Tuesday evening as the competition from the cathedral bells is just too much!
