EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Truro Diocesan Training College, located on Agar Road in Truro, Cornwall. Believed to have been taken in the early 1900s, this exterior view showcases the grandeur of the training college for School Mistresses that was established back in 1859. The image provides a glimpse into the rich history of education and teaching practices during that era. Young women aged 18 years were admitted to this esteemed institution after completing an apprenticeship as a pupil teacher lasting four or five years. The college served as a hub for aspiring educators who sought to refine their skills and contribute to society through teaching. However, like all chapters in history, this one eventually came to an end. In 1938, the doors of Truro Diocesan Training College closed forever, transforming into St Paul's Church of England School thereafter. While we may not know who precisely captured this remarkable moment frozen in time, it is evident that they possessed great skill behind the lens. This photograph serves as a testament to both Cornish heritage and educational advancements throughout generations. As we observe this snapshot from yesteryears with admiration and curiosity, let us reflect on how far our city has come since then while cherishing its roots firmly planted within these walls.
