Penzance Railway Station - 02

What used to be the entrance into the Ticket Hall;
there was a gigantic oak desk, manned by two men and a lady.
Behind that was a half glazed panel of obscure glazing, and offices behind.
To the left was a pair of glazed doors, leading out to the balcony and staircase down to the platform level.
Ticketing was much simpler at that time. Single, Return or Season.
Note the granite dado rail mid door height, the base of which is at the same level as the recess panel of the main wall.
Heights are shown in inches.
One inch = 25.4 millimetres.

There was a Mr James from Gulval who used to man the ticket office, it seemed he was there for years. I went to school with his son who played a big part in forming Gulval Football Club.
 
One gentleman was Paul, he was a Canadian, all the staff were extremely helpful.
The lady eventually went on the be Station master at St Erth, I think.
