EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of The Cross Keys Hotel, a charming public house nestled in the heart of Penryn, Cornwall. Taken around 1901, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of early Edwardian life. The focal point of the image is a figure standing proudly at the hotel's entrance. Could it be W. J. Edwards, the esteemed landlord who took charge in 1901? Accompanied by two elegantly dressed women, his presence exudes authority and hospitality. Surrounding them are sixteen young boys gathered for what seems to be an impromptu photograph session. Their curious expressions and mischievous grins hint at youthful camaraderie within these historic walls. While the photographer remains unknown, their skill is evident as they expertly capture every detail - from the intricate architectural features to the ornate signage adorning The Cross Keys Hotel. This evocative print transports you to a bygone era when locals would gather here for lively conversations over pints of ale or hearty meals shared amongst friends. It serves as a testament to both Cornish heritage and community spirit that has endured throughout generations. Display this piece proudly in your home or office as a tribute to Edwardian charm and the enduring legacy of The Cross Keys Hotel - an iconic establishment that has stood witness to countless stories unfolding within its storied walls.
