About
Truro gets its name from the old Cornish word 'Tri-veru', meaning Three Rivers, which also appears in 13th-century documents as Try-weru, Trywru or Tryurw.The rivers in question are the Kenwyn, Allen and a little stream under Tregolls Road. The Kenwyn passes alongside Lemon Quay. The river was covered over for car parking in the 1920s and 1930s. This area is now an Italian-style piazza.
