Framed Photos from Royal Cornwall Museum
Lloyds Bank, Coinage Hall, Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. 1920s
View showing the War Memorial and fountain in front of the Coinage Hall. The Coinage Hall was built in Victorian times on the site of the original 14th century stannary building. The image shows the building as the premises of Lloyds Bank, then also the Capital and Counties Bank Ltd. Although the two banks merged in 1918 the Capital and Counties Committee of Directors did not cease operating as a separate entity until 1934 that. Prior to this, the building housed the Cornish Bank. Duke Street is on the left and Princes Street on the right. Photographer: Gibson and Son

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall in the 1920s. Standing proudly in the center is Lloyds Bank, its grandeur amplified by the magnificent War Memorial and fountain gracing its front. The Coinage Hall, a Victorian marvel built upon the foundations of a 14th-century stannary building, serves as an iconic backdrop. Once home to both Lloyds Bank and Capital and Counties Bank Ltd. , this image captures a unique moment in history when these two financial powerhouses had recently merged in 1918. However, it wasn't until 1934 that the Capital and Counties Committee of Directors ceased operating independently. Prior to their occupancy, this historic building housed none other than the esteemed Cornish Bank. The photographer skillfully frames Duke Street on the left side of the image while Princes Street completes this picturesque scene on the right. Gibson and Son have expertly captured not only architectural beauty but also historical significance with their lens. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where commerce thrived amidst stunning architecture. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum reminds us of Truro's rich heritage while offering glimpses into its vibrant past - a testament to how much has changed yet remained timeless over decades gone by.
