EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of Truro, Cornwall. Taken in 1964 by the talented photographer Charles Woolf, it showcases the Toll House at the top of Tregolls Road just before its unfortunate demolition. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity as we observe this charming building standing proudly amidst its surroundings. The Toll House's significance is further emphasized by a sign attached to the fence, which reads "Site of new premises for H. T. P. Motors" and "The Austin Distributors". This hints at an exciting future development that was about to take place on this very spot. The viewer can't help but wonder what these new premises would bring to Truro and how they would shape the local community. Woolf's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of the Toll House and its historical context within Truro. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across its facade, adding depth and character to this already intriguing scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time, invited to reflect on our own connection with heritage and progress. It serves as a reminder that change is inevitable but also offers an opportunity for growth and transformation. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print not only preserves a piece of Cornish history but also sparks conversations about our collective past while inspiring hope for an ever-evolving future.
