EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Probus, Cornwall, around 1907. The Square is beautifully captured from the entrance of Chapel Street, showcasing a charming scene filled with historical landmarks and local life. On the right side of the image stands the Post Office, exuding an air of importance and serving as a hub for communication within this tight-knit community. On the left, we are greeted by the magnificent church tower dating back to approximately 1523. Its timeless presence adds a sense of grandeur to this quaint village setting. In the center of The Square, Gerrans shop front catches our attention with its inviting display. It must have been a bustling place where villagers gathered to purchase their daily necessities or simply exchange stories and greetings. The Jubilee Lamp positioned prominently in front brings light and warmth to this corner of Probus. A symbol of celebration during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee years earlier, it serves as a reminder that even in this small village, important events were commemorated with pride. Three men standing in the foreground add depth and character to this snapshot frozen in time. Their presence hints at everyday life unfolding amidst these historic surroundings. Photographed by Samuel John Govier, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into St Probus and St Grace Parish's rich heritage while capturing an enchanting moment on one Cornish streetlight-lit evening over a century ago.
