EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the quaint and picturesque Rumford village, nestled within the idyllic St Ervan region of Cornwall. This photo print, believed to have been taken around the 1920s by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into a simpler era. The focal point of this charming scene is undoubtedly the cream-colored K3 model telephone box, an exceptionally rare find as it was introduced only in 1929. Standing proudly alongside it is a sturdy telegraph pole, connecting this serene village with the wider world. The image encapsulates both nostalgia and curiosity as we ponder about the lives that unfolded within these historic walls. Imagine villagers eagerly awaiting news from afar or sharing heartfelt conversations through those now-vintage telephone lines. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when technology was still finding its place amidst traditional rural life. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to our ever-evolving society and reminds us of how far we have come since then. It also highlights the significance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Let your imagination wander as you explore every detail captured within this extraordinary piece of history at Royal Cornwall Museum – where memories are cherished and stories unfold before your eyes.
