EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a glimpse of Truro's rich industrial past, this vintage print showcases H. T. P. Motors Ltd from the serene River Kenwyn in April 1936. The image takes us back to a time before the river was covered over in 1938, revealing an enchanting scene that has since been lost to history. As we admire the view, our eyes are drawn not only to H. T. P. Motors Ltd but also to other prominent landmarks such as Argalls Stores, Carkeek & Sons Ltd, and the magnificent cathedral standing proudly in the background. The photograph also offers a fascinating insight into popular brands and advertisements of the era. Prominently displayed are eye-catching signs for Ovaltiney, OXO, Heinz baked beans, and Nestles Ideal milk – all iconic products that have stood the test of time. These nostalgic glimpses into early advertising remind us of simpler times when these household names were just beginning their journey towards becoming beloved classics. It is worth noting that H. T. P. Motors Ltd eventually transformed into what is now known as the Pannier Market – a bustling hub for traders and shoppers alike. Although taken by an unknown photographer prior to World War II, this image serves as a valuable historical record of Truro's ever-evolving landscape
