EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to a quaint street in Flushing, Cornwall. The lens of photographer Arthur Philp captures the essence of this charming village with its cornish houses and vibrant community. As we gaze upon the image, it becomes evident that this street was not just a physical space but also a gathering place for its residents. The scene is alive with activity as children playfully roam the cobblestone streets, their laughter echoing through the air. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines - some engaged in conversation while others busy themselves with household chores or tending to their shops. In the foreground, an old cart stands proudly, serving as a reminder of simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on these roads. It symbolizes both transportation and commerce, hinting at the bustling trade that must have taken place within this tight-knit community. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into Flushing's past; it allows us to imagine what life might have been like for its residents during this era. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about how much has changed since then. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as an invaluable historical document that transports us back to early 20th-century Cornwall – reminding us of our roots and preserving our collective memory for generations to come.
