EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the essence of a quaint Cornish village. The image showcases Fore Street in Grampound, Cornwall, with its charming clock tower standing tall as the focal point. As we gaze up this picturesque street, our eyes are drawn to the Town Hall and Market Cross, which add an air of historic significance to the scene. Intriguingly, St Nuns Church peeks into view on the left side of the photograph, reminding us of the spiritual fabric that binds this community together. Beyond these architectural gems lies a horse-drawn cart making its way up the hill, symbolizing a bygone era when such scenes were commonplace. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Samuel John Govier. Through his lens, he has immortalized not just buildings and streets but also a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This image evokes feelings of warmth and familiarity while transporting us back to an era where life moved at a slower pace. As we admire this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a reminder that history lives within every corner of our world – even in seemingly ordinary village streetscapes like this one. It invites us to appreciate how far we have come while cherishing our roots and heritage.
