EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall in the 1920s. The image captures a vibrant scene on Princes Street's north side, showcasing the daily activities that shaped this historic town. In the foreground, we see men diligently working on the front of a building nestled between two iconic landmarks - the Coinage Hall on the left and Trelevans bakery shop on the right. These establishments were not only pillars of local commerce but also integral parts of Truro's cultural fabric. A sign pointing towards their Princes Restaurant in 1-2 Duke Street catches our attention, hinting at a place where locals gathered for good food and great company. It serves as a reminder that even amidst busy workdays, people sought solace in shared meals and conversations. Adding to this nostalgic snapshot is an elegant motor car parked proudly in front of Coinage Hall with registration RL2971. This glimpse into early automotive culture transports us further into an era when cars were still considered luxurious novelties. Although we may never know who precisely captured this remarkable moment frozen in time, it stands as a testament to Truro's rich history and its role as both a commercial hub and community gathering place. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in bygone days filled with charm, industry, and confectionary delights found within these cherished streetscapes.
