Tremorvah Cricket Ground was a cricket ground located just outside Truro, Cornwall. The first recorded match to be played on the ground was a first-class match between an England XI and the touring Australians in 1899, which the Australians won by 7 wickets. During the match, Len Braund of the England XI made the highest individual score with the bat of 63, while the Australians Ernie Jones took the best bowling figures with 7/31. This was the only first-class match to be played at the ground. Cornwall first played there in a friendly against Glamorgan in that same year, while they played their first Minor Counties Championship at the ground in 1904 against Monmouthshire. They played a further fixture there against Devon in that same season, with the ground hosting a single Minor Counties Championship match from 1905 to 1912, when Cornwall played their last fixture there against the Kent Second XI. Long since abandoned for cricketing purposes, it is likely the ground was located in the grounds of Alverton Manor, a likely location for it being in the western grounds of the manor, on two sites, one of which is now covered by housing and the other which is partially open land and partially covered by Truro Magistrates Court. The ground remains the only venue in Cornwall to have hosted first-class cricket and the most westerly part of England in which first-class cricket has been played.

High Cross is the name of a cobbled plaza in Truro, Cornwall, England, UK, in front of the west face of Truro Cathedral. It is at the junction of Pydar Street, King Street, and St Mary's Street.The plaza is extensively dotted with floral hanging baskets during the summer and is the site of Truro's Christmas tree during the festive season. One building on High Cross has certain significance; the Georgian Assembly Rooms building, a Warrens Bakery store until March 2020, was built in 1789 and was the centre of Truro's high society, containing the Old Assembly Halls and also a theater. There are two busts above the first floor windows, one of the actor and theatrical producer David Garrick, and the other of William Shakespeare. The cobbles in High Cross were concreted over when Queen Elizabeth II visited the city in the 1970s, and they were restored afterwards. A multi-storey car park nearby has the name "High Cross". The area has also been noted for its high number of anti-social behaviour incidents.

The Truro River (Cornish: Hyldreth) is a river in the city of Truro in Cornwall, England, UK. It is the product of the convergence of the two rivers named Kenwyn and Allen which run under the city: the Truro River (named after the city) flows into the River Fal, estuarial waters where wildlife is abundant, and then out into the Carrick Roads. The river is navigable up to Truro. The river valleys form a bowl surrounding the city on the north, east and west and open to the Truro River in the south. The fairly steep-sided bowl in which Truro is located, along with high precipitation swelling the rivers and a spring tide in the River Fal, were major causes of flooding in 1988 which caused large amounts of damage to the city centre. Since then, flood defences have been constructed around the city, including an emergency dam at New Mill on the River Kenwyn and a tidal barrier on the Truro River, to prevent future problems. The valley of the Tresillian River is between the valleys of the Truro River and the Fal; the Tresillian River flows into the Truro River just upstream of where the latter joins the Fal. Early records give the Tresillian River the name "Seugar" (1297) or "Sowgar" (1530); the meaning of this name is unknown.The river is mentioned in the medieval Cornish language play Bewnans Ke (c. 1550), as the place from which the eponymous Saint Kea embarks for Rosené. It uses the river's Cornish name Hildrech, which in modern spelling is Hyldreth.
