HELSTON HISTORY
JERICO (JERICHO) ROW
The location of JERICO ROW remains a mystery to many present day residents of Helston.
Located below Penhellis House towards St John`s, it`s whereabouts has been long forgotten due to the entrance to it`s cottages being blocked in later years by the building of a bungalow across the entrance.
Jerico Row is now derelict.
During Flora Day 2009 I was able to photograph the cottages from the grounds of Penhellis House.
