EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the charming streets of Truro, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures St Nicholas Street as seen from Victoria Square, offering a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of this historic city. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are drawn to the various establishments that once graced this vibrant street. Jennings and Radmore Confectioner and Dining Rooms catch our attention with their inviting facade, tempting passersby with delectable treats and warm meals. Next door stands Edwin Broad and Olivers boot and shoe shop, where locals would have sought out stylish footwear for every occasion. The photograph also reveals glimpses of everyday life during this era. Edwardian-dressed individuals can be spotted strolling along the pavement while perambulators - popular baby carriages at the time - dot the scene. Children dressed in their finest Edwardian attire add an element of innocence to this snapshot of history. Intriguingly, one cannot help but notice a sign for Coinage Hall on one side of St Nicholas Street. This reference hints at Truro's rich mining heritage and its importance as a center for Cornish coinage throughout history. Photographer Arthur Philp has masterfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire world within these city walls. This remarkable image serves as a testament to Truro's past while igniting curiosity about its present-day charm.
