EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Fore Street, St Austell, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures the essence of this bustling town with its charming architecture and lively atmosphere. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Holy Trinity Church's towering presence, adding a touch of grandeur to the scene. As our eyes wander down Fore Street, we notice at least three shops proudly displaying their clothing in their windows. These shopfronts offer a fascinating insight into the fashion trends and styles of that era. Four young men have paused on their journey to strike a pose for this timeless photograph, freezing an ephemeral moment forever. Further along the street, four men stand engrossed in conversation; perhaps discussing local news or sharing stories from their day-to-day lives. Their animated gestures suggest camaraderie and friendship. On the opposite side of the street, two women are captivated by something displayed in one of the shop windows. We can only imagine what has caught their attention - perhaps it is an exquisite dress or an intriguing object that piques their curiosity. The identity of the photographer remains unknown but they have gifted us with this remarkable snapshot into St Austell's past. This print serves as both a historical document and a testament to human connection across time.
