MORE ABOUT THAT TRURO PAINTING

Incidentally, to the left of the Assembly Rooms in the Truro picture is a lower building with blinds. I do not know who was there when the picture was painted, but by the time the cathedral was built, it was home to RICHARD HENDRA. He was a plumber and tinsmith and had the name painted large on the upper walls. Yes he was my great- grandfather. I remember my grandfather and his sister talking about growing up in High Cross and and playing in the boxes of the Assembly Room Theatre next door! VH
