Local historian, photograph collector and Voice reader Barrie Doney has no shortage of pictures and stories from Cornwall’s past, which he shares with Voice Newspaper readers every week.

This week’s photo comes from a bygone time in Liskeard, at the Parade, so often the focal point for life in the historic town.

Barrie says of this picture: “Across the parade from the Voice office (Webb’s House) is showing The Fountain Hotel, circa 1934 with no sign of the night club or the cinema. The mansion on the right has been cleared of ivy.”
