EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Grampound in Cornwall. The focus of this image is the turnpike gatehouse and bridge, which proudly stand at the west end of the village. With its charming stone structure and intricate architectural details, it serves as a reminder of a bygone era when toll roads were an integral part of transportation. In this snapshot, we see two elegantly dressed ladies standing in the doorway of the gatehouse, perhaps taking a moment to observe passersby or engage in conversation. Their presence adds a touch of life and character to this historic landmark. Across the river on the right side lies another significant building - the school. It stands as a testament to education's importance even amidst rural settings like Grampound. The photographer responsible for capturing this enchanting scene is Samuel John Govier, whose skilled eye has immortalized this moment for future generations to admire and appreciate. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time; our imagination fills with stories about horse-drawn carriages passing through these gates or children eagerly crossing that bridge on their way to school. It serves as a window into history, reminding us of how much things have changed while preserving memories that should never be forgotten.
