Penryn is a civil parish and town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Penryn River about 1 mile north-west of Falmouth. Though now the town is overshadowed by the larger nearby town of Falmouth, Penryn was once an important harbour in its own right, exporting granite and tin to the rest of the country (and indeed the world) throughout the medieval period.
Penryn is one of Cornwall's most ancient towns and boasts a wealth of history. The ancient town first appears in the Domesday Book under the name of Trelivel, and was since founded and named Penryn in 1216 by the Bishop of Exeter. The borough was enfranchised and its Charter of Incorporation was made in 1236. The contents of this Charter were embodied in a confirmation by Bishop Walter Bronescombe in the year 1259. In 1265, a religious college, called Glasney College, was built in Penryn for the Bishop of Exeter to develop the church's influence in the far west of the diocese. In 1374, the chapel of St Thomas (sometimes called St Mary's) was opened. Standing at the head of the Penryn River, Penryn occupies a sheltered position and was a port of some significance in the 15th century.
From 1554, Penryn held a parliamentary constituency, which became Penryn and Falmouth in 1832. The constituency was abolished in 1950, with Penryn becoming part of the Falmouth and Camborne constituency. It received a royal charter as a borough in 1621, mainly in a bid by the crown to cure the town of piracy. At least three mayors of Penryn were convicted of piracy between 1550 and 1650. The arms of the borough of Penryn were Sa. a Saracen's head Or in a bordure of eight bezants.
The A39 road, which begins in Bath and is about 200 miles (320 km) long, once passed through Penryn towards the end of its route in nearby Falmouth, but in 1994 was diverted around the town when the Penryn Bypass was opened, incorporating a stretch of new road along with upgrading to an existing road. The town is the setting of the play The Penryn Tragedy, which tells of a young man unwittingly murdered by his parents after disguising himself as a rich stranger.
Today, Penryn is a quiet town and has retained a large amount of its heritage. With a large proportion of its buildings dating back to Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian times, the town has been designated as an important conservation area. The local museum is housed in the Town Hall. Penryn has a small but active Rotary Club. Penryn is twinned with Audierne in Brittany, France.
Penryn railway station was opened by the Cornwall Railway on 24 August 1863. It is towards the north west end of the town and is served by regular trains from Truro to Falmouth on the Maritime Line. In 2004, the Penryn Campus was completed, creating the hub of the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) project.

Penryn, California
Penryn is a census-designated place in Placer County, California, in the United States. Penryn is located 5 miles northeast of Rocklin. It is 1.8 square miles, all of it land. In 2010, it had a population of 831.
The story of Penryn begins in late 1864 when a Welsh immigrant by the name of Griffith Griffith established a granite quarry on quarter section of land leased from the Central Pacific Railroad.
Back home in North Wales, G. G., like his father before him, worked in the Penrhyn Slate Quarry. In Welsh, the word penrhyn translates to headland or promontory, which aptly described the seaport from which the Penrhyn Quarry took its name. When it came to naming his new enterprise, the choice was obvious, but not the spelling. To simplify things and avoid the inevitable misspellings that were likely to occur, on the evening of May 17, 1865, Griffith, after discussing the matter with Central Pacific legal counsel Edwin Bryant Crocker (known later for the Crocker Art Museum), agreed to drop the “h” from the original Welsh spelling and settled on the name, and spelling, we know today.

(Falmouth ENGLAND) Pinoy Travel Channel
The maritime port of Falmouth sits on the county's south coast at the end of the Carrick Roads, a huge river estuary that empties out into the third deepest natural harbour in the world. Falmouth's fortunes were made during the 18th and 19th centuries, when clippers, trading vessels and mail packets from across the world stopped off to unload their cargoes in the town, and Falmouth remains an important centre for shipbuilding and repairs. These days, however, it's better known for its lively nightlife and the newly-built campus of the CUC (Combined Universities of Cornwall), a few miles up the road in Penryn; although salty seadogs can still get a taste of the town's nautical heritage at the stunning National Maritime Museum beside the harbour. .

Places to see in ( Helston - UK )
Helston is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Helston is situated at the northern end of the Lizard Peninsula approximately 12 miles east of Penzance and 9 miles south-west of Falmouth.
Helston is the most southerly town on the island of Great Britain and is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) farther south than Penzance. The former stannary and cattle market town is best known for the annual Furry Dance (known locally as the Flora Dance), said to originate from the medieval period. However, the Hal-an-Tow is reputed to be of Celtic origin. The song, and music, associated with the Furry Dance is known to have been written in 1911. In 2001, Helston celebrated the 800th anniversary of the granting of its Charter.
Helston is situated along the banks of the River Cober in Cornwall. Downstream is Cornwall's largest natural lake Loe Pool, formed when a shingle bar blocked the mouth of the river by rising sea levels forming a barrier beach. To the south is the Lizard Peninsula, an area important for its complex geology and wildlife habitats.
Helston is on the A394 road. To the west, the A394 leads to Penzance; to the north-east it leads to Penryn where it joins the A39, which leads south to Falmouth and north-east to Truro. The B3297 runs north from Helston to Redruth.
The nearest railway station is Redruth on the Cornish main line, although the Helston branch line railway served the town until closure in the early 1960s. The branch left the ex-GWR main line at Gwinear Road station near Hayle, and ran 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south to terminate at Helston railway station. The Helston Railway Preservation Company is undertaking the restoration of part of the line. Bus services now link Helston to the rail network; First South West provides the (34) bus service from Redruth station to Helston as well as other services to nearby towns and the Lizard peninsula.
Flora Day occurs annually, on 8 May (except when the date falls on a Sunday or Monday — Monday being Market Day — when it is the preceding Saturday) Helston hosts the Furry Dance. Helston Town Band has a rich history, which can be traced back to the turn of the 20th century. Indeed, there are members of the current band whose family connections extend back four generations.
Helston is also the birthplace of Bob Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons, the first triple world boxing champion. The house where he was born and lived in Helston is still standing and is indicated by a plaque above the door. The Helston Museum, founded in 1949, occupies the building originally designed as the town's Market House in 1837, with two separate buildings—one for butter and eggs, the other the meat market.
There are three Cornish crosses in Helston: one in Cross Street and two in Mr. Baddeley's garden (Cross Street). One of the latter crosses was removed from Tresprison, Wendron, and other from near Trelill Holy Well, Wendron. The Grylls Monument, at the end of Coinagehall Street was built by public subscription in 1834 to thank Humphry Millet Grylls. Helston also hosts The Flambards Experience, formerly the Helston Aero Park, which is a theme park with a selection of rides together with a few remaining aviation exhibits. Nearby Wendron is home to the Poldark Mine theme park, where visitors can go underground into the old workings.

8. THE LIBRARY OF ALCUIN OF YORK
Alcuin was a famous English philosopher, teacher and poet from the 700’s. He was born in York, Northumbria and made the city famous due to its status as his hometown and his large library of manuscripts. The school and library in York were known to be the finest in eighth-century Europe!!
7. PETRARCH’S LIBRARY
Poet Francesco Petrarca, known more commonly just as Petrarch, compiled a collection of books from across Europe. Throughout the 14th century, it became one of the largest libraries of its kind. Petrarch became known for traveling with his massive collection of manuscripts - a task that he understandably eventually got tired of. Travelling is hard enough, let alone in the 1300’s!!
6. THE LIBRARY OF CHARLES V OF FRANCE
In 1368 in the fortress of the Chateau de Louvre, Charles V began a collection of literature that ultimately contained over 1,200 volumes. The establishment of a library by the king is considered to be the origin of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (or the National Library of France).
5. THE LIBRARY OF REGIOMONTANUS
Known more commonly by his Latin name Regiomontanus, Johannes Muller von Konigsberg was a 15th-century mathematician and astronomer of the German Renaissance. He trained at the legendary Bibliotheca Corviniana, which was discussed in Part I of this series about lost libraries so if you missed that one, be sure to go check out that vid after this one!!
4. GLASNEY COLLEGE
In southwestern England, there’s a distinct group of people known as the Cornish. Until the 15th century, they had their own language and culture, which was centered around Glasney College, a church-sponsored knowledge center in Penryn, Cornwall. It was also a way for the Cornish people to demonstrate their refusal to assimilate with British culture.
3. UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA LIBRARY
On April 18, 1831, the University of the State of Alabama opened its doors to students for the first time. The college had one of the largest collections of books in the country by the time the Civil War broke out. Because of the school’s party culture and the worsening tensions between the north and south, the college’s leadership successfully appealed to the government to transition it into a military school in 1860.
2. JAFFNA PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Jaffna Public Library became one of Asia’s greatest libraries within decades of its founding in the 1930’s in the Tamil region of northern Sri Lanka and contained over 97,000 books and manuscripts. Fragile ancient texts were stored at the library, including palm leaf manuscripts about the history of Sri Lanka.
1. INSTITUT FUR SEXUALWISSENSCHAFT
In 1919, shortly after World War I, Magnus Hirschfeld started the Institute Fur Sexualwissenschaft, or the Institute of Sex Research, in Berlin, Germany. Since 1897, Hirschfeld had led the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, which campaigned conservatively and rationally for gay rights and the tolerance of homosexuality.
