EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Truro's history. The image captures the grand opening of Worths Quay, an event that undoubtedly marked a milestone for the town and its bustling port in possibly 1905. At the forefront stands the distinguished figure of Truro's Mayor, believed to be W. F. Clarke, who held office between 1904 and 1907. His presence exudes authority and pride as he joins other gentlemen on this auspicious occasion. Dressed impeccably in their period clothing, these men epitomize the fashion trends of early twentieth-century Cornwall. As our gaze extends beyond the officials, we catch glimpses of curious onlookers forming a crowd behind them. These individuals represent a diverse cross-section of Cornish society at that time – their faces reflecting both excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead for Worths Quay. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into Truro's past but also serves as a testament to the significance placed upon maritime trade during this era. It is evident that Worths Quay was more than just another dock; it symbolized progress, prosperity, and connectivity for Truro and its people. With every detail meticulously preserved within this historical snapshot – from clothing styles to facial expressions – we are reminded of how images can transcend time itself. This remarkable piece offers us an invaluable window into Cornwall's rich heritage while honoring those who played pivotal roles in
