Penryn Town Centre

The prominent building with the clock tower is Penryn Town Hall and Museum, formerly the Market Hall. It sits between Higher Market street on the right and Lower Market Street on the left. The street plan of this area has not changed since this was a medieval market place with the houses and shops at the front of narrow medieval burgage strips. This is still the commercial core of Penryn but it is obviously no longer a major shopping centre as it has been since medieval times. There is distinct lack of the normal high street shops.
