Old Fire Station, 2 Broad Street, Penryn
Grade II Listed fire station of 1899. The site had formerly been owned by Penryn MP and Pendennis Castle governor Sir Nicholas Slanning, who died for the royalist cause during the English Civil War. The site was acquired in 1887. Until then it had been a dwelling, and in 1899 a new fire station was built, although reportedly the firemen still had to catch the horses for the engine from a field near St Gluvias Church. It is possible that the building may have re-used earlier elements. The 1940s brought a new fire station and in the decades that followed it was used as a shop, veterinary practice, cafe, and finally in the late 1980s or early 1990s flats, before lying empty from the mid 2000s. In early 2017 application was made to renovate it into two flats.

Old road direction sign, Penrhyn
This certainly looks genuine, with raised lettering and small pits that would presumably have been filled with reflective studs. Hopefully it has been left in place as 'Heritage'.
