A salon with a sense of place
Killigrew Street
Killigrew Street sits on ground that was once marshy tract running down to Smithick Creek — long before it was a street at all.
It takes its name from the Killigrew family, whose influence shaped Falmouth's rise as a maritime town — building its quays and, in 1688, securing the town's role as a Royal Mail Packet Station.
Once the waterfront was built out, further growth could only go inland. The marshland was drained and developed through the early nineteenth century, forming the terraces that still line the street today.
Salon Cornwall works within that setting now — old stone and render, refitted for a different kind of craft.
