EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming city of Truro, Cornwall, around 1920. The image showcases a picturesque view of The Leats from the west side of Castle Street, offering a glimpse into the bustling streetscape of this Cornish gem. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are drawn towards the magnificent Cathedral standing proudly in the distance. The composition beautifully captures everyday life in Truro during that era. People can be seen strolling along the streets, going about their daily routines amidst an atmosphere filled with warmth and vibrancy. This snapshot provides a fascinating insight into how this historic city has evolved over time while still retaining its unique character. Notably, on the right-hand side of the photograph stands the United Methodist Chapel's Sunday School section—an architectural gem that adds to Truro's rich cultural heritage. Its presence serves as a reminder of both religious devotion and community spirit within this close-knit city. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully immortalized this moment in history with his lens, preserving it for generations to come. Through his artistry, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets and where life unfolded at a slower pace. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum is not just an image; it is a portal inviting us to step into Truro's past—a testament to its enduring beauty and timeless allure.
