EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of a grocer's shop in Grampound, Cornwall, captured beautifully by photographer Samuel John Govier during the early 1900s. This print offers a glimpse into daily life from yesteryears. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the grocer's shop itself, with its quaint facade and inviting atmosphere. The presence of a lady standing at the doorway adds an intriguing touch - could she be Mrs Annie Curtis, the owner of this establishment? Her poised stance suggests pride and dedication to her trade. Above the shop window proudly hangs an advertisement for Liptons Tea, hinting at popular products available within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even then, brands sought to capture customers' attention through clever marketing strategies. Adjacent to the grocer's shop stands a house adorned with an elegant portico, adding architectural grandeur to this charming street scene. The juxtaposition between commercial and residential spaces showcases how closely intertwined business and domestic life were back then. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum evokes nostalgia for simpler times when community spirit thrived amidst bustling market towns like Grampound. It invites us to imagine stepping through its doors and experiencing firsthand the sights, sounds, and aromas that once filled this cherished corner of Cornwall.
