EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming streets of Fore Street, St Just in Penwith Churchtown, Cornwall around 1910. The focal point of the image is the iconic Star Inn on the left side, a popular establishment run by innkeeper Samuel Warren during that period. However, it's interesting to note that by 1914, William Stephens had taken over its operations. The photograph also offers a glimpse into daily life with several shops lining the street. One can spot Rowe's Ironmonger and Grocer as well as a Fruiterer among them. These bustling businesses would have been essential for supplying goods and provisions to the local community. What truly brings this scene to life are the men, women, and children standing in the street. Their presence adds depth and character to this snapshot of history. It is fascinating to imagine what their lives were like during those times - perhaps they were locals going about their daily routines or visitors exploring this picturesque town. Part of an esteemed collection curated by A. K Hamilton Jenkin, this print captures not only architectural details but also provides valuable insights into social dynamics at play during early 20th-century Cornwall. While we may never know who precisely captured this moment in time due to an unknown photographer, we can appreciate their skillful composition that has allowed us a window into our past.
