EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s and immerse yourself in this print capturing Worths Quay in Truro, Cornwall. The scene is bustling with excitement as a large group of excursionists eagerly await their boat on the picturesque Truro River. The glass lantern slide perfectly preserves this moment, allowing us to witness a bygone era of leisurely river trips. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the charming refreshment pavilion, proudly displaying its datestone from 1911. Sadly, this beloved landmark was later demolished to make way for road widening. Its absence serves as a poignant reminder of how landscapes evolve over time. As we delve deeper into the photograph, we are captivated by the fashion choices of these adventure-seeking trippers. Cloche hats and period costumes transport us straight into an era where style met practicality. Photographer Gibson skillfully captures not only a snapshot frozen in time but also evokes feelings of anticipation and wonder that must have filled the air that day at Worths Quay. This image transports us back to an age when waterways were vital arteries connecting cities and providing endless opportunities for exploration. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to appreciate both our rich history and the ever-changing landscape around us.
