EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene on King Street in Truro, Cornwall around 1910. The east side of the street showcases various businesses that were thriving at the time. On the corner stands Slater family grocers at number 1, followed by G. H. Philp's diverse establishment at number 2, offering everything from paper hangings to picture frames and stationery. Next door, Eastmans Limited proudly displays their butcher shop at number 3, while J Osborne's tailor and hatter business occupies number 4. The photograph also reveals a vibrant gathering of elegantly dressed women and children who have congregated for this momentous occasion. Their fashionable attire reflects the Edwardian era's sense of style and sophistication. Fast forward to present-day Truro in 2019, and these premises are now occupied by popular brands such as Pandora, L'Occitane, and Carphone Warehouse. The transformation over the years is evident as modern shops replace those from a bygone era. Arthur Philp skillfully captured this snapshot of daily life in Truro with his camera lens. His work allows us to glimpse into history and witness how commerce has evolved within this charming cityscape throughout the decades
