Penzance

 In Penzance yesterday. Weather better than the previous day. Here are some pictures-

An interesting map on the wall at Truro railway station.
A lovely sailing ship in the dry dock at Penzance.

Art Deco near the Lido.
Morrab independent library founded in 1818
Two faces of Art Deco- the Ritz cinema above having seen far better days and the glorious Lido below.

Sundial on the wall of a church.
Signage from Penzance town centre.
A fascinating building in Egyptian style .
A jolly famous five advertising campaign from GWR
The day was made even better by briefly catching up unexpectedly with a friend in Penzance and ending the day back in Falmouth with a fellow blogger for tea. Great to see both of them.

  8. It's a nice, comfortable place, easy to wander round. The gardens provide a peacful place to sit and it's a short journey to St Micheal's Mount.
