Western Union Telegraph Office

Western Union Telegraph Office building, Alverton - Greenbank - Penzance
You will be pleased to know that the owners of the site/building have placed a Planning Application for a Cornish Hedge to be erected along this frontage. Dated 10th June 2009. Appl Nr 09-0303-P.
 
Let s hope it ends up resembling what is most in keeping, as opposed to what they have tried previously.
 
I have just written Planning local office, Head of Planning Truro, and to HES on that score.
 
I have had a favourable response to my messages - it appears this is a long standing issue and Planning have it all well in hand; controls will be set to ensure a good hedge is built.
 
A friend of mine, who is in her late seventies,worked as a typist for The Western Union at Alverton Court. I remember it being Alverton Court Hotel in 1980 s prior to it becoming a Nursing Home.
 
That is a good kind of memory. Come to think of it, it all comes back to me now (don t sneeze in a head wind).
