EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Newquay, Cornwall, around 1905. The image showcases what is believed to be the first post office in this charming town, situated on either Bank Street or Beachfield Avenue. Originally a private residence, this historic building stands tall and proud as a witness to the changing times. In front of the post office's wall, we see a group of children gathered together with curiosity and innocence shining through their eyes. Their presence adds life and vibrancy to the scene, reminding us of simpler days when children found joy in simple pleasures. At the gate stands an elegant lady who seems to oversee these young souls with care and affection. Her poised stance suggests she may have been associated with either running or residing within this establishment. The photographer behind this remarkable capture is Ennor, whose talent immortalizes moments like these for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, he has not only captured a snapshot of architectural history but also painted a vivid picture of daily life during that era. This print serves as both an educational tool for those interested in Cornish history and a nostalgic reminder for locals who hold dear memories of growing up amidst such picturesque streetscapes. It transports us back over a century ago when Newquay was still blossoming into the vibrant coastal town it is today.
