EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a picturesque scene of the Bandstand in Victoria Gardens, Truro, Cornwall. Taken after 1902, it offers a glimpse into the serene beauty of this Edwardian-era park. In the foreground, two children stand in front of the elegant bandstand, their youthful energy contrasting with the tranquil surroundings. Behind them, St Georges Chapel rises majestically, its rear façade adding an air of grandeur to the composition. Further in the distance stands Carvedras Viaduct - a remarkable all-stone structure that replaced Brunel's original timber fanned viaduct in 1902. Victoria Gardens itself was created as a tribute to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It serves as both a recreational haven and an oasis for nature enthusiasts seeking respite from bustling city life. The carefully manicured gardens are adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery while featuring charming water features that add to its allure. The photograph was captured by an unknown photographer whose keen eye skillfully framed this enchanting view over Truro. This image is not only a testament to Cornwall's rich history but also reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
