EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to Churchtown, Roche, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is the charming Rock Inn, a historic public house that exudes Cornish character and charm. Standing proudly beside its entrance is a man adorned in traditional Cornish attire; his bowler hat adding an air of sophistication to his appearance. The Rock Inn's doorway serves as a portal into another era, inviting us to imagine the lively conversations and laughter that once filled its walls. Above the door proudly hangs a sign bearing the name of Charles Hooper, undoubtedly the esteemed licensee who oversaw this beloved establishment. Captured by an unknown photographer with remarkable skill and attention to detail, this print offers us a glimpse into daily life during simpler times. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era when community gathering places like hotels and public houses played vital roles in fostering social connections. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum, it reminds us of how our ancestors built strong bonds within their communities while seeking solace or celebration within these cherished establishments. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the essence of Cornish heritage and captures a moment forever etched in history - one where tradition meets progress on Churchtown's quaint streets.
