EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, around 1923. In this nostalgic scene, we are introduced to a remarkable milk roundswoman for W. Tunkin based at 43 Daniell Street. With her trusty horse and cart by her side, she navigates the cobbled streets of Truro with grace and determination. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era when daily essentials were delivered right to your doorstep. The milk cart stands proudly in front of quaint Cornish buildings, showcasing an urn filled with fresh milk bottles waiting to be distributed throughout the town. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has expertly framed this snapshot in time, allowing us a glimpse into the lives of hardworking individuals who played vital roles within their communities. The image exudes authenticity and offers a window into the past that is both fascinating and heartwarming. As we admire this historical gem preserved within the museum's collection, let us reflect on how much our world has changed since then. This photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times when personal connections were forged through everyday interactions like receiving your morning pint of milk from a friendly face on Lemon Street.
