More about this scene
Thomas's hardware and ironmonger's shop (left) is at a good corner site, with a large display of wares, while opposite, E R Jones is a 'home and foreign outfitter'. Perhaps the shop supplied the needs of emigrating tin miners, for this was the period when the great Dolcoath Mine closed. Down Commercial Street is the Market House, with a clock tower built by John Francis Basset in 1866. The Bassets of Tehidy were important mineral lords in this once-great copper and tin mining centre.
