EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the winter of 1906, as captured by the skilled lens of photographer Arthur Philp. This remarkable print showcases Coronation Terrace, a picturesque corner of Truro, Cornwall. The snow-covered ground adds an enchanting touch to this already charming scene. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the exquisite architecture and intricate details that define this bay windowed terrace. The ornate railings stand proudly against the backdrop of a bustling street. Alongside them, billboard notices adorn the walls, offering glimpses into life at that time. The advertising posters provide fascinating insights into popular products and services from over a century ago. Prominent among them are Gills Millinery hats, Deward Perth Whisky for those seeking warmth in their glasses during chilly winters, WMJ Tippett Furniture for stylish home decor solutions, and J Pearson Watches Clocks Jewellery for timeless elegance. Notably displayed is an advertisement for Cunard Line's Liverpool to New York voyage – a testament to Truro's connection with distant shores even then. Kynoch Loaded Cartridges hint at local hunting traditions while reminding us of changing times. This photograph also captures a glimpse of daily life with its mention of West Briton newspaper dated 1906 - perhaps delivering news from near and far right on these very streets. Transport enthusiasts will appreciate spotting elements such as the nearby station and railway tracks that were vital lifelines connecting communities across Cornwall. Let this evocative
