EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Truro, Cornwall, in the 1920s. The Leats, a picturesque area known for its charming waterways, is beautifully captured from the entrance of Victoria Gardens. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are immediately drawn towards the magnificent silhouette of Truro Cathedral standing proudly in the distance. The scene comes alive with several individuals strolling along these historic streets. Their presence adds a sense of liveliness and community to this bustling cityscape. It's fascinating to imagine what stories lie behind each person's journey on that day so long ago. Photographer Gibson skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also showcases how seamlessly nature intertwines with urban life here. Lush greenery gracefully frames both sides of the street while sunlight dances upon cobblestones below. This photograph evokes a nostalgic charm that transports us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and life moved at a slower pace. It serves as a reminder of how cities like Truro have evolved over time while still retaining their unique character. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this image allows us to appreciate and celebrate Cornwall's rich history and heritage. It invites us to explore its hidden corners and discover more about its vibrant past - all within one captivating frame.
