EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Richmond Hill, Truro, Cornwall, captured by the talented photographer Arthur Philp during the early 1900s. The image offers a glimpse into a bustling street scene that showcases the essence of life in this Cornish city at the turn of the 20th century. As we peer down the north side of Richmond Hill, we are immediately drawn to the vibrant mix of people populating its pavement. Children and adults alike stand animatedly, their presence adding an air of liveliness to this snapshot from history. A woman stands proudly in the doorway of Number 42, her gaze fixed on something beyond our view - perhaps awaiting someone's arrival or simply observing passersby. The street itself is lined with charming buildings that exude character and charm. Halfway down, a small cart sits idly as if frozen in time; it serves as a reminder of simpler modes of transport prevalent during those days. This photograph not only captures architectural details and fashion trends but also provides us with an insight into daily life within this close-knit community. It transports us back to an era when streets were filled with activity and neighbors knew each other by name. Immerse yourself in this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection and let your imagination wander through Truro's past while appreciating its rich heritage preserved for generations to come.
