EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s captures a moment frozen in time at Calenick, Kea, Cornwall. The view showcases a diverse group of individuals gathered on the bridge, creating an intriguing snapshot of life during that era. Amidst the backdrop of a serene river and lush Kenwyn landscape, this image tells a story. The composition features several men who appear to be workmen, their attire suggesting they are braving the elements during winter. Clad in caps and bowler hats with waistcoats peeking out from beneath their coats, these hardworking individuals exude resilience and determination. Accompanying them are two children whose youthful energy contrasts beautifully against the mature figures surrounding them. A playful dog adds an element of liveliness to the scene as it frolics alongside its human companions. Intriguingly captured by photographer Ernest Chegwidden, this photograph offers us a glimpse into daily life within Cornish communities during this period. It invites us to imagine what conversations may have taken place on that very bridge or what stories these people carried with them. As we admire this historical gem preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, let our imagination wander through time as we appreciate not only the picturesque setting but also ponder upon the lives lived within those charming houses and cottages dotting the landscape beyond.
