Penzance Central

The Plan showing the Compulsory Purchase areas to form the Car Park. November 1948. Can anyone remember just who Carter and who Sheppard was? The purple area Pool was a warehouse for beer and spirits, I think. Just what the area marked King was I do not know. I am not familiar with O Hall either as an owner. What was the Public House on Parade Street? I think Bevills were shoe repairs. Any ideas, please?

Carter was a chemist and I believe Sheppard could have been a wine shop selling cheeses etc Pub in Parade could have been the Park Inn or Seven Stars.

Bevills was a repairs, next to Parade Street Chapel, now the Acorn. The Seven Stars was a pub but I don t thaink it was there, I could well be wrong and stand to be corrected, Park Inn sounds more likley.

Don t know the answer to your question but I can tell you that Tregenza s has been granted free parking in that car park and the council has even hatched out a parking area for them (it s there today). I can t remember the story behind this, but the council weren t happy.

Wasn t there a flour mill or biscuit factory there? I seem to remember that it was badly bombed in the was... or am I just confusing things here:confused: :confused:

I have a vague recollection from something my father said about a biscuit factory in this area, yes. The site between the bank and the co-op was bomb damaged, I think, along with Meeks.

I know Charlie Clift had a repair shop top of Queen Street, (opposite Ritz entrance) but maybe he was where Bevills was before?
