EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to Market Square, located in the picturesque Churchtown of St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. The image captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing the bustling heart of this charming coastal town. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn towards the magnificent St Just Church standing proudly at one end of Market Square. Its towering spire reaches for the heavens, serving as a reminder of faith and community that has stood strong for centuries. In contrast to the grandeur of the church, we notice a quaint yet lively marketplace unfolding before our eyes. People mill about with purposeful strides while others leisurely browse through stalls filled with an array of goods and produce. The square is alive with activity; it's as if time itself has paused just long enough for us to witness this vibrant snapshot. Amidst this vibrant atmosphere stands an intriguing detail - a Cornish bicycle parked near one side of Market Square. A symbol of transportation and freedom during those times, it adds an element of nostalgia to this already enchanting scene. The identity of the photographer may remain unknown but their skillful lens captured not only buildings and people but also emotions and stories waiting to be discovered within these frames. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and invites us on an evocative journey into its past.
