EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall in the 1920s. The image captures a vibrant intersection, where New Bridge Street meets Quay Street on the left, Duke Street straight ahead, and St Marys Street on the right. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of this charming city during that era. The skilled eye behind this photograph is none other than Arthur William Jordan, whose talent for capturing moments in time shines through in every detail. His composition allows us to immerse ourselves in the scene as if we were standing there ourselves. One notable feature is the newly erected War Memorial at the end of Duke Street. A symbol of remembrance and tribute to those who sacrificed their lives during World War I, it stands tall against an otherwise timeless backdrop. As we explore further into this snapshot from history, we are drawn to the architectural beauty surrounding these busy streets. Traditional buildings line each road with their distinct charm and character. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a window into a bygone era - one filled with horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone streets while locals go about their daily routines. It encapsulates both nostalgia and curiosity about what life was like during those years. Whether you have personal ties to Truro or simply appreciate historical photography, this image transports you back in time to experience a moment frozen forever within its frame.
