		The City of Truro is the administrative centre of Cornwall with a cathedral that dominates the town.
		Truro was originally a settlement at the head of a tidal river; an obvious choice both for market and trading purposes, being surrounded by agricultural land, tin mining, and with access to the sea.
		The situation did not last, however, for after the Civil War and the restoration of King Charles ll to the throne, Truro lost a lot of those trading rights to Falmouth; the reason being, that Falmouth had been more loyal to the crown, whereas Truro had surrendered too easily to the ‘Parliamentarians’.
