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 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.
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
My city, what a great video. I would love to see more

Take me back. Beautiful times.
Bittersweet memories of 90s holidays in Cornwall. Thank you for the upload!
Camborne still looks like the 1990 now.
i guess it is quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Jason Leandro I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Elon Calvin yup, been using Flixzone for since april myself :D
@Elon Calvin thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Jason Leandro you are welcome :D
I miss the old truro
Very classic. Wow!
Wow I was young in 1990 but not living in Truro. Thanks
I want to go back to 1990
Who remembers going to woolworths for pick & mix.
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.
History video. Well done.
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.

Thanks for posting, takes me back!😀
Do miss Truro
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 :(
When Truro had some life and was interesting.
What's that tune called & who's that from?
If those pigs were rolled out in 2018, the hysteria would be ludicrous
Truro the only city in Cornwall
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.
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😂
😂
