Default Kresen Kernow

The new venue for the Cornish Archives opens soon and I am ridiculously excited. Ridiculous because I have no Cornish ancestors! However, I cannot wait to see what they have done and how they have brought everything together under one roof.I

Previously Cornish Archives were housed in an almost derelict Elliot hut in Truro (County Records Office), with lesser archives held in an old inconvenient building in Redruth. The new centre is a restored brewery and is looking rather smart from the outside. I could moan about its location which is slightly difficult to find if you don't know where it is and it isn't adjacent to any public transport, but hey ho. I could also gripe about the old county hall site in Truro which has been sold off to provide executive style living apartments aimed at the rich and blind who cannot see the railway sidings over the road but that's probably better on a different post.

The open day is next Saturday. i shall report back.
