A lovely piece of filming there of Truro in it's prime, so reminds me of my youth especially seeing the old parking spaces in Victoria Square outside the Bristol & West which is now Rowe's the bakers! I used to frequent alot of these old shops & establishments including County Man barbers where Subway sandwich takeaway is now....great memories of looking out the window while waiting for a haircut. Dewhursts the butcher and Newman's & Fosters clothing shops....what a blast from the past! This is Truro the way I liked it but then i'm a nolstagic person I suppose! Thanks for uploading....a pleasure to watch!
A check out the dude at 0:18 with the Hot Tuna T Shirt, snow wash jeans and suit shoes! As an 18 year old Truro boy I recognised this as class! My home town has changed a lot but it's still got the same spirit
A lot of the shop names have changed, but not the town itself. Don't think the piazza was there then, just Lemon Quay Car park. Interesting though, would love to see some from the 60s and 70s.
Which store was yours? I used shop for so much in the Pannier Market. In fact I still have a Donnay tennis racket I bought from there around 90/91. The amount of Iron Maiden and GnR T-shirts and badges I bought there as well lol.
@@Thursdaym2 Nice. Good old days. Always went to Titos’ as well. My ‘uncle’ Amon used to run Arabica as well there. When I bust my school shoes, I’d be up the far end getting ‘em fixed. Hoover bags from the Docrees. Can’t remember their name but my mum painted the pig sign at the butchers as well. At one point or another all of the family worked up the road at the hall for Cornwall. I miss the days but it’ll never be the same again sadly.

My city, what a great video. I would love to see more
Bittersweet memories of 90s holidays in Cornwall. Thank you for the upload!
Take me back. Beautiful times.
Camborne still looks like the 1990 now.

Very classic. Wow!

Who remembers going to woolworths for pick & mix.
I want to go back to 1990
Thanks for posting, takes me back!😀
24 years and completely different i couldn't recognise a single shop thats there today
I saw mallets.
Malletts and Oggy Oggy and I think Pieros are the only ones I could see. And Argos on Victoria Square.

John Stribs Lemon Quay car park was there until around 2001/2 when it was replaced with the piazza. Truro is a lovely place.
Lovely bit of film. Had a business in Pannier Market for 30 years from 1985. Shops were much better in 80s and 90s.
I mean they weren't gutted and empty, it's hardly stiff competition nowadays!

@@jaynbob42 That would have been from Tito's sports. We had the leathergoods unit on the centre aisle from 1985.

History video. Well done.
great idea, really interesting 20 years on.
What's that tune called & who's that from?
If those pigs were rolled out in 2018, the hysteria would be ludicrous
Who saw the Mercedes-Benz W124 coupe?
wow the local 'Hoppa' buses & local number plates (CV AF GL all registered in Cornwall). not like that now :(
Do miss Truro
Truro the only city in Cornwall
it had shops then ,now bugger all
When Truro had some life and was interesting.
Anyone else looking out for themselves or family lol, I would of been 15 then, a scrawny idiot with his whole life ahead, what a waste lol😂
😂
22 Years An Its Exacly The Same -_- lmao
30 years now, yup, still the same except now of course, it's empty.
truro is a small city
My city also. I have been in London since 1992 but soon to return. Does anyone remember Mutton's butchers in Victoria Square? ( showing my age now).
I do. It was on the corner of what used to be the little parking area and opposite Burger King IIRC.
People were better dressed and more animated. What on earth happened?
