EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a bustling scene on Fore Street in Redruth, Cornwall. The focal point of this snapshot is the iconic Tabbs Hotel, standing tall with its charming facade and an old-fashioned horse-drawn cart parked outside. The hotel's presence evokes a sense of hospitality and warmth that must have welcomed weary travelers passing through this vibrant town. To the right of Tabbs Hotel stands Olivers Boot and Shoe Warehouse, a testament to the thriving local businesses that once lined these historic streets. This establishment would have been a hub for footwear enthusiasts seeking quality craftsmanship and stylish designs. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye has immortalized this moment in time for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where horses still roamed freely alongside carts carrying goods from one place to another. As we gaze upon this photograph print at the Royal Cornwall Museum, we can't help but feel connected to our Cornish heritage. It serves as a reminder of how much Redruth has evolved over the years while retaining its unique charm. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they allow us to reflect on our roots and appreciate the progress made since those early days captured by Arthur William Jordan's lens.
