The Globe Inn.
The 1841 Census shows Edward as an innkeeper in Frances St. This is shown elsewhere to be The Globe, next door to the current Wig & Pen, but no longer a pub but occupied by Reeds Pharmacy (2017).
Then: https://i2-prod.cornwalllive.com/news/history/article364144.ece/ALT....
Now: https://goo.gl/maps/BinEjM65qQ12. (Note the Wig & Pen next door - no. 25, although sometimes erroneously shown as no.1.)

About The Globe Inn (The Globe / Famous Old Globe Inn) - from Tony Mansell's article.
Location: 24 Frances Street
1840 circa: Earliest reference found. (RCG 27th March 1840 / Trade directories) 1843: “…brought before the mayor, charged with stealing a quantity of gin, and two bottles, the property of Edward Cock, of the Globe Inn, Truro. She was committed to the county gaol, for trial at the next sessions.” (8 September 1843 - Royal Cornwall Gazette)
Legend has it that this house has a ghost, a young woman called Alice was run over by horse and cart when it was a coaching inn. She was brought into the house where she died. 1844: “The Globe Inn to let…with immediate possession, the Globe Inn, situate in Frances-street, in the borough of Truro.” (4 October 1844 - Royal Cornwall Gazette)

The 1883 Truro Trade and General Directory shows:
24 Frances St: Globe Inn - John Chynoweth.
25 Frances St: Star Hotel - Henry Smith. (Now Wig & Pen.)

The 1888 Truro Trade and General Directory shows:
24 Frances St: Globe Inn - T.Lobb.

About The Lamb, which became the Duke of Cornwall in the 1850s according to Tony Mansell's article: "The Duke of Cornwall Inn wasn't as far up as the Holywell Dairy [just below the viaduct]. It was at 37 Pydar Street which is below the turning up to Castle Hill. Stephens' grocery, on the corner of Union Street and Pydar Street was 30 Pydar Street so that gives an idea of the location of the Duke of Cornwall. It closed as a public house sometime between 1901 and 1911 as, in that year, nos. 37 and 38 were not listed in the census”.
