Fore Street, Probus, Cornwall. Around 1913

A view looking east towards the centre of the village. Truck Hill is behind the camera. A number of people pose for the camera including two men from Thomas J. Teague s, Monumental Masons marble works on the left, a man on a horse and cart, two boys and young child. Further up the road can be seen two ladies and two men in the distance. The lady standing in the centre of the road looking towards the camera has the same hairstyle, with a bow, and clothing as the lady with two children outside the Cornwall County Police station in photograph TRURI : PROct.6. She is also standing in the road outside the Police Constables home/station in this photograph which gives reason to believe that she is the village constables wife, Maud Prust (nee Westcott), aged 26. The young child standing with the two young lads is dressed, except for the bonnet, in very similar clothing to the standing child in TRURI : PROct.6. Given the body language of the lady and the two young lads, it would suggest that the child is under their care, with the lady keeping an eye on her child and the lads and not posing for the photograph. Given the research conducted for photograph TRURI : PROct.6, this would put the date of the photograph around 1913. Photographer: Samuel John Govier

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fore Street, Probus in Cornwall around 1913. The view looks east towards the heart of the village, with Truck Hill situated behind the camera. A diverse group of individuals pose for the camera, each contributing to the vibrant scene. On the left side of the street, two men from Thomas J. Teague's Monumental Masons marble works proudly display their craftsmanship. A man on a horse-drawn cart adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot in time. Two boys and a young child stand together, possibly under their care. Further up the road, two ladies and two men can be seen in the distance, adding depth to this bustling village scene. However, it is worth noting that one lady standing prominently in the center of the road draws our attention due to her striking resemblance to another woman captured outside Cornwall County Police station. The lady's hairstyle adorned with a bow and her clothing mirror those worn by Maud Prust (nee Westcott), aged 26 - wife of Village Constable - as depicted in another photograph from TRURI: PROct. 6 collection. This intriguing connection suggests that she may indeed be Maud Prust herself. Additionally, an observant eye will notice that one young child standing alongside two lads wears remarkably similar attire to another child featured in TRURI: PROct. 6 photograph. Considering these details and previous research conducted for TRURI: PROct. 6 image dating back to 1913, it is reasonable to conclude that this picture was taken during that same period by photographer Samuel John Govier.
