Preserving History - Truro City Police, Guardians of Cornwall's Past

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in the history of Truro, Cornwall. Taken around 1890, it showcases a group of dedicated men who served as the Truro City Police force during this era. Standing proudly outside against a backdrop of majestic trees, these courageous individuals don their distinct cornish uniforms and helmets. Truro itself had recently attained city status in 1877, leading to the renaming of its police force from Truro Borough Police to Truro City Police. This transition marked an important milestone for law enforcement within the region and symbolized growth and progress. While the identity of the photographer remains unknown, their work has immortalized this remarkable image that now finds its place within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and commitment displayed by these brave policemen. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, let us reflect on how far our society has come since those days while honoring those who have worked tirelessly to maintain peace and order throughout our beloved county. This photo serves as a reminder that our past shapes our present and inspires us towards building an even brighter future for generations to come.
