EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the early 20th century, this print captures a bustling scene at High Cross in Truro, Cornwall. Taken around 1908 by an unknown photographer, it showcases a remarkable sight: a two-horse excursion car gracefully navigating the cobbled streets near the iconic Truro Cathedral. The west front of the cathedral stands shrouded in scaffolding, hinting at ongoing renovations and adding an air of anticipation to the atmosphere. The image comes alive with vibrant details - people from all walks of life can be seen strolling along the road or eagerly boarding the horse-drawn carriage. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era; women adorned in long skirts and elegant hats while men sported tailored suits and bowler hats. The horses themselves exude strength and poise as they pull their precious cargo through town. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transportation for both locals and visitors alike. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when travel was slower-paced but filled with charm and elegance. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as a valuable historical record, documenting not only transport history but also showcasing how daily life unfolded on these very streets over a century ago.
