Richard Talling's "Fancy Repository"

Fore Street 1906 Ref: 56419
Fore Street 1906
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This photo shows (just) the shop unit (on the right behind the post boy on the pavement, currently the Londis store) which I believe formerly housed famous Cornish mineral dealer Richard Talling's "Fancy Repository" (Mineral shop) from around 1844 until his death in 1883. I would very much like to track down any photos which may exist of either Richard Talling or his shop (exterior and interior) on the corner of Queen St and Fore Street for a biography that I am working on.
