I agree with Mr Meek too. Unfortunately this is only one of a great many examples of such architectural vandalism in the town.

This building (Nr 96) was Blewitt the dentist, before being demolished. The opening (right) was to Miss Pool s house and garden. I agree totally concerning the official vandalism, borne out in the 2000 report to the Planners.

If my memory is correct Mr Edwards was the last dentist there, dentist Moe Blewitt on his retirement ran the Mermaid pleasure boat out of Penzance for some time

Mr Edwards was the last dentist there. He was our dentist and I remember him moving to new premises in Alverton somewhere when the changes were made. Trevails was still there after this building was knocked down though , was it not?

I remember this building as I was patient of Mr. Edwards. Trevails did remain after this building was demolished. If my memory serves me right from my last visit to PZ the Trevails shop is now a bakery/pasty shop???

@Cherrycandy...the Parker fire was hot enough to peel the paint of buildings
on the Terrace but not to melt the railings !!
