Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of Cornwall's past with this photo print. Captured around 1910, the image transports us to The Highertown Inn, nestled within the picturesque village of Highertown, Truro. Its historical significance is evident as we observe the signage proudly displaying Richard Bray as the esteemed landlord. The scene exudes an air of authenticity and simplicity, showcasing a traditional Cornish public house at its finest. The quaint stone building stands resolute against time, adorned with hanging baskets overflowing with vibrant flowers that add a touch of color to its exterior. A wooden sign swings gently above the entrance, inviting locals and travelers alike to step inside for a taste of true Cornish hospitality. Although shrouded in mystery regarding its exact date and photographer, this photograph encapsulates an era when community spirit thrived within these walls. One can almost imagine patrons gathering around wooden tables inside, sharing tales over pints of local ale or engaging in lively conversations by the roaring fireplace during colder months. Preserved through this remarkable print housed at Royal Cornwall Museum, it serves as a testament to our rich heritage and offers a glimpse into life in early 20th century Cornwall. Let your imagination wander back in time as you admire this snapshot frozen forever; where history meets nostalgia amidst charming surroundings that continue to captivate visitors today.
