Sh*t views of Truro Cathedral (View IV) | The View from Tesco Roundabout

Spoilt only by the large tree in the right near ground this appalling view of Truro Cathedral truly stinks.

New Book | Sh*t Views of Truro Catherdral

Before international superstores Mark's & Spenser and Tesco were built, the full splendour of Truro Cathedral could be seen from across the river at Malpas. Today that uplifting and spiritual vision of Truro Cathedral is obscured by the soulless back-end of Marks & Sparks. To temper this unimaginative architectural eye-sore, thoughtful planners have allowed motorists exiting the roundabout after visiting the nearby industrial estate a tantilising glimpse of Truro's magnificant central peak.

New book | Sh*t Views of Truro Cathedral

To mark international Anglican Cathedral Day I have chosen this particularly sh*t view of Truro's finest.

It's hard to imagine today what Truro Cathedral would have looked like in the thirteenth century, but I think all of us would agree that set against the walled gardens of these traditional magnolia decorated and relatively affodable homes the Cathedral's magnificent splendour shines through.

I love the inkling of greenery nestled in the nearground of the Cathedral between the houses that momentarily distract the eye from the mesmorising lines of telecom cable.

It is with enormous pleasure that I can now release the second image from my new book: Sh*t Views from Truro Cathedral.

Another fine example and symbol of English power and prestige over Rome and Celtic Cornwall, this recently refurbished and relatively spacious Cathedral also includes occasional religious talks and exquisite musical interludes.
