Truro, in Cornwall, had a population of around 18,000 at the 2021 census — a small city that punches well above its size.
Cornwall's only cathedral city
Truro grew into Cornwall's principal commercial and administrative town, but it was the creation of the Diocese of Truro in 1877 that gave it city status. Construction began on Truro Cathedral in 1880, its three spires rising above the rooftops as one of the first new cathedrals to be built in Britain since Sir Christopher Wren's St Paul's more than two centuries earlier. The cathedral was completed in 1910 and remains the dominant feature of the city's skyline.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Truro's cathedral and civic heritage didn't translate into a confectionery trade, and the city doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a city this size tends to support locally.
