EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling Cattle Market at Castle Hill, Truro, Cornwall around 1910. The image captures a vibrant scene filled with farmers and their livestock, particularly sheep, as they gather for trade and commerce. It offers a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of this region. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful. In the foreground, we see a group of farmers engaged in animated conversations while tending to their animals. Their weathered faces tell stories of hard work and dedication to their craft. The sheep stand patiently beside them, awaiting their fate in this lively marketplace. As our eyes wander towards the background, we notice an intriguing detail - the railway loading bay. This serves as a reminder of how crucial transportation was during that era for both bringing livestock to market and delivering goods from afar. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only the essence but also the historical significance of this momentous event in Truro's history. His keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this bygone era. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum is more than just an image; it is a portal through which we can explore our past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that shaped communities like Truro.
