EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the quaint village of St Just in Penwith Churchtown, Cornwall, on a crisp March day in 1904. The focal point of the image is the impressive Board School building, specifically showcasing its 1880 section. The datestone proudly adorns the gable wall, serving as a testament to its historical significance. In front of the school's elegant railings stands a handcart belonging to Veail, Bakers and Confectioners of St Just. This charming detail gives us a glimpse into daily life at that time – bustling with local businesses catering to the needs and indulgences of this close-knit community. To the right side of the frame, we see three women accompanied by an adorable child nestled comfortably in a pram. Their presence adds warmth and humanity to this snapshot frozen in time. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only architectural beauty but also everyday moments that make up our shared history. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from over a century ago, let it transport us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community ties were strong. May it serve as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be value in cherishing our past while embracing our future.
