More about this scene
A small group of children seems to be attracted by an early motor car, while a Hovis delivery cart waits just past the Town Arms. William Wilce's drapery and fancy repository is on the right, and Thomas Hoskin's family grocers on the left next to the King's Arms Hotel. There are two postmen on the right, for the post office is nearby.

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.
