EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Market Square of West Looe, Cornwall, captured in this vintage photo print. Dating back to before 1892, this image offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of a bygone era. The focal point of the scene is the iconic Cornish Arms public house, proudly standing on the left side of the square. Interestingly, historical records reveal that in 1892, the inn's license was revoked due to its alleged immoral activities. A newspaper article from that time sheds light on this intriguing detail and adds an extra layer of intrigue to this photograph. The inn sign prominently displays the name 'R. Moore, ' which piques curiosity as it does not appear in H. L. Douchs Index of Public Houses—a testament to how history can sometimes leave behind unsolved mysteries. Captured by Surgeon Captain John Campbell—an unexpected photographer with a keen eye for documenting everyday life—this snapshot showcases more than just buildings and carts; it encapsulates an entire era rich with Victorian charm and Cornish heritage. As you admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let your imagination transport you back to a time when horse-drawn carts filled these cobblestone streets and locals gathered at market stalls exchanging goods and stories.
