Well! what can I say things are so different. in 1885 I Levins (the shop in the centre of this picture) became Isaac Fuzzy. Later bought by JW Meek who was the the manager of the furniture shop. Later J W Meek moved to Market Place in 1914 until closed in 2008.
Having just looked at Fuzzey Premises photo (Nr102), from the left Borough Arms Foundry (Nr100) was John Bond s ironmongers in 1891; Mary Moyle fruiters; Dennis draper; Israel Levin s (Nr 102) rebuilt in 1892 as Fuzzey s; unidentified Barber; Stephen Hodge basketmaker; and Jennings Coffee house (opened c 1890).
Nr 100 Market Jew Street, was purchased by N Holman and Sons Ltd in 1893, the Borough Arms Foundry (originally John Bond); they sold cycles and marine accessories, and made sign posts etc. 78 men were employed here.
What a fantastic picture. This has to go into my top 10 of old photoraphs of Penzance. Absolutely stunning, if it wasn t for the railings in the bottom left corner or the literature on the buildings it could be any street anywhere.
Same here . Love the horse and carts going along. My great great grandfather was a driver of cart in Penzance, he may be pictured!
Am I right in saying that none of those buildings remain, but the railing is the same?
