Interior of Tregavethan Farm dairy, Truro, Cornwall. July 1914
The image shows the cool room, with full milk pans on slate work surfaces, a wooden central table with freshly made butter and eggs placed by the window. Screens on the windows would keep the flies out and keep the room cool. The windows have been opened to let light in for the picture. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1914, where a glimpse into the heart of Tregavethan Farm dairy awaits. This print captures the essence of rural life in Truro, Cornwall during World War One. The cool room comes alive with its functional yet rustic charm. As you enter this sanctuary, your eyes are drawn to the meticulously arranged full milk pans resting on slate work surfaces. A testament to hard work and dedication, these pans hold the promise of nourishment for many families in the region. In the center stands a sturdy wooden table adorned with freshly churned butter and delicate eggs lovingly placed by the window. The photographer's keen eye captures not only practicality but also beauty – screens delicately fitted onto windows ensure that pesky flies stay at bay while allowing gentle sunlight to flood into this serene space. It is as if time has stood still; one can almost feel a refreshing breeze wafting through open windows. Arthur William Jordan skillfully immortalizes this snapshot from an era long gone but forever cherished. With each glance at this remarkable image, we are transported back to a simpler time when farm life thrived amidst global turmoil. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our agricultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those days at Tregavethan Farm dairy.
