River Kenwyn, looking towards Lemon Bridge, Truro, Cornwall. 1910-1920
A view of the River Kenwyn with Lemon Bridge in the distance. Lemon Quay is on the left, with a back to front GARAGE sign situated near to a sailing barge lying alongside Lemon Quay. On other photographs of this area of Lemon Quay (for example TRURI : TRUqbf.12) there are a number of unhorsed carriages parked as if for repair or maintenance. Does the sign indicate a progression of this business into the repair of motor cars? Opposite Lemon Quay, another sailing barge lies alongside Back Quay. The Green, with its trees, can be seen just forward of the sailing barge lying alongside the quay on the right hand side of the photograph. The cathedral, with its two completed western towers, is seen on the skyline in the background. Photographer: Possibly Arthur Philp

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene view of the River Kenwyn, showcasing Lemon Bridge in the distance. The picturesque scene showcases Lemon Quay on the left, with its bustling activity and a peculiar back-to-front GARAGE sign catching one's attention. Adjacent to Lemon Quay lies a majestic sailing barge, adding an element of maritime charm to the composition. Interestingly, other photographs from this area reveal unhorsed carriages parked as if awaiting repair or maintenance. Could this intriguing sign be indicative of a transition into automobile repairs? It raises questions about how this business may have adapted to meet the changing needs of transportation during that time. On the opposite side of Lemon Quay, another graceful sailing barge rests alongside Back Quay, further enhancing the nautical ambiance. As we explore deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn towards The Green adorned with lush trees situated just ahead of the sailing barge along the quay's right-hand side. Completing this enchanting panorama is Truro Cathedral proudly standing tall on the skyline in all its glory. Its two western towers stand as testament to architectural excellence and provide a striking backdrop against which everyday life unfolds. Possibly captured by Arthur Philp, this timeless photograph offers us a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history - where town meets harbour and tradition intertwines with progress.
