EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Ladock village, Cornwall, taken in the early 1900s. The image beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the idyllic charm and simplicity of village life. On the left side stands the quaint Chapel, its steeple reaching towards the heavens as if guiding the community's spirit. Ahead lies H. Kendall's shop, a bustling hub where locals would gather to purchase their daily necessities. Intriguingly, this photograph provides us with glimpses into Ladock's commercial history. Henry Kendall is identified as both a grocer and draper during his tenure here from 1902 to at least 1919 according to Kellys Directory—a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to serving his fellow villagers. However, by 1923 Miss Harriett Kendall has assumed control over the grocery business. But it is not just these historical details that make this photo so compelling; it is also witnessing children joyfully playing in the street—a scene that evokes nostalgia for simpler times when laughter echoed through every corner of Ladock village. Preserved thanks to photographer Arthur William Jordan's skilled lensmanship, this remarkable print now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum—an invaluable piece of local heritage that allows us all to step into Ladock's past and immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty.
