MS Electrical
MS for Mawnan Smith of course. It is good to see small business thriving in rural areas. At least, this one gave the impression of thriving although I was not able to avail myself of anything. I was about to lead a walk.

Mawnan Smith
The centre of this Cornish village is dominated by its thatched pub, the Red Lion. Here in the summer of 1977 it was decorated with a union flag and bunting to celebrate the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Devenish owned a large estate of west Cornwall pubs in the 1970s - the beers were brewed at Redruth - but the company no longer exists. The road ahead through the village leads to Helford Passage. Note the Barclays Bank sign on the right of the picture; it seems hard to believe now, in an age when banks are closing branches in quite large towns, that they once had a presence in such rural places.

The Village of Mawnan Smith
The parish is called Mawnan. It is assumed the word 'Smith' added to the name of this village was something to do with Blacksmiths.
