EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this vintage print showcases the bustling city streets of Truro, Cornwall around 1910. The focal point is a charming scene featuring horse buses lined up in front of the magnificent Cathedral and High Cross. These horse-drawn carriages were an integral part of daily life, connecting St Columb-Summercourt-Truro with their reliable service. The image depicts a lively atmosphere as people are comfortably seated on the buses while numerous children stand eagerly looking towards the camera. A ladder leans against one carriage, providing access to the top deck for those seeking an elevated view. In the background stands Burtons China Galleries, formerly known as the Assembly Rooms, exuding its grandeur alongside Burtons Furnishing Warehouse. This snapshot beautifully captures not only transportation history but also glimpses into Edwardian fashion and style. Period costumes adorn both adults and children alike; parasols add a touch of elegance to protect against sun rays or light showers. Every detail within this photograph transports us back in time to experience Truro's vibrant past. Photographed by Arthur Philp, this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection offers a fascinating window into Cornish heritage and culture during this period. It serves as a precious reminder of how our cities have evolved over time while preserving cherished memories that continue to inspire generations.
