EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming streets of St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, circa 1910. This print captures the essence of a bygone era on Fore Street, Churchtown. In the foreground, children play joyfully while a little boy delights in his stick and hoop. The Star Inn stands proudly on the left side of the street, with Samuel Warren serving as its innkeeper during this period. As we explore further into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to several shops that lined Fore Street at that time. Rowe's Ironmonger and Grocer catches our attention with its inviting storefront, offering an array of household essentials. Nearby is a Fruiterer shop where locals could find fresh produce to nourish their families. Transportation was vastly different back then as evidenced by two horse-drawn vehicles gracefully passing through the background. A man wheels his bicycle along the cobbled road, showcasing one of the emerging modes of personal transportation during that era. This remarkable photograph belongs to the esteemed A. K Hamilton Jenkin collection housed at Royal Cornwall Museum. Although we do not know who precisely captured this moment frozen in time, it serves as a testament to Cornish heritage and culture
