EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the charming village of Grampound in Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque street scene, capturing the essence of Cornish life during that era. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captures the timeless beauty of this quaint village. In this particular shot, we are presented with a view from the bottom of Grampound looking towards its day school. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the architectural style prevalent in Cornwall at that time, with traditional Cornish houses lining both sides of the street. These buildings exude character and history, their stone facades standing as a testament to centuries gone by. The focus on education is evident in this snapshot as well, with Grampound's day school taking center stage. This institution played an integral role in shaping young minds within the community and fostering a love for learning among generations past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers insight into how daily life unfolded in rural Cornwall over a century ago
