EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Perran Wharf, Perranarworthal, Cornwall in the early 1900s. The image showcases a snapshot of history as we find ourselves standing on the main road through Perranarworthal, gazing southwards. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the charming late 18th-century terraced houses that line Riverside on the right-hand side of the photograph. These architectural gems stand proudly against the backdrop of a bygone era, exuding character and charm. It's fascinating to imagine what life was like for those who called these houses home during this period. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye captured not only buildings but also stories frozen in time. Through his lens, he transports us effortlessly into an age long past. As we explore this print further, it becomes evident that it holds much more than just visual appeal; it serves as a window into history itself. We can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages clattering along these cobbled streets and envision locals going about their daily lives amidst simpler times. This particular print offers a glimpse into an enchanting corner of Cornwall's heritage and invites us to reflect upon its rich cultural tapestry. It reminds us how important it is to preserve our historical landmarks and cherish our shared past for generations to come.
