HELSTON HISTORY
MENEAGE STREET
A `SNAPSHOT` OF MENEAGE STREET
MENEAGE STREET like Coinagehall Street has played a very important part in the town`s history.
It is the street where most of the shops are located and has been the centre of commercial business since the birth of the town itself.
| EARLY VIEWS OF MENEAGE STREET Note the old `HORSE and JOCKEY` INN (now demolished) and Horse & Jockey Lane on the right of the photograph. The `BELL INN` and `RODNEY` are opposite on the left. |

Notice the two shops
that stand out well in this photograph: JAMES & SON on the left
next to W.T.KNEEBONE |
This
scene was probably from the 1950`s. Notice how EDDY & SON has changed
little over the years. |
Another 1950`s photo. Note how the vehicles are all facing up Meneage Street. |
A very early photo looking at the top of Meneage Street. The surface of the road is being replaced with tarmac. Note the Kennel is uncovered on the left side of the road. Photo added 13/10/07 |
