A rare glance at Batten and Couch's properties at Battery Square Penzance. The Penzance Town Council brought this site for for a quarter of a million pounds on today's money in order to widen the road by the corner of battery and the new Wharf Road
I'm struggling to place this exactly... If it's Battery Square, then the buildings on the seaward side have been demolished (hence the ragged end of the furthest building above?)
Interesting reading (your) @Halfhidden 's post on the 1916 demolition, with the attached 1880 photo of the same view as above (just with even more washing ).
