Capturing the Essence of Bank Square and Chapel Street - A Glimpse into Early 1900s Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, during the early 1900s. The scene is alive with a mixed group of people who have momentarily paused to pose for this timeless photograph. Intriguing details emerge as we explore the image further. The signs adorning the Consolidated Bank of Cornwall window proudly display Bolithos Bank Limited's opening hours – from 10 am to 3 pm, with shorter Fridays until noon. On the corner stands a shop adorned with vibrant advertisements for Venus Soap and Cadburys Chocolate and Cocoa – tempting treats that surely delighted passersby. A sign catches our attention, offering "Ponies & Dogcart On Hire" promising moderate terms for those seeking transportation services. Above a man confidently leaning on his bicycle, another sign reveals J. Stevens' versatile establishment – a grocer, draper, refreshments provider whose offerings remain partially obscured by time's passage. Peering closely at yet another obscured sign above Mr Johnstone Dental's head hints at dental care services available within reach. The identity of the talented photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown but their skill in capturing everyday life in Cornish Victorian and Edwardian times is undeniable. As we gaze upon this slice of history preserved through photography, let us appreciate its significance as an invaluable glimpse into an era long gone -
