EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the grandeur of the Union Hotel, nestled on St Austell Street in Truro, Cornwall. The image captures a front view of this magnificent establishment, which later transformed into the beloved Lord Nelson public house. Its location at the South East corner of St Austell Street and Tregolls Road made it a prominent landmark for locals and visitors alike. The Union Hotel exuded an air of elegance and charm that was characteristic of its time. With its imposing architecture and intricate detailing, it stood as a testament to Truro's rich history. Unfortunately, progress took its toll on this architectural gem when it was demolished in the late 1960s during construction work for the Trafalgar roundabout. Though we may never know who precisely captured this remarkable moment in time, their lens immortalized a piece of Truro's past that continues to fascinate us today. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how our surroundings evolve over time but also highlights the importance of preserving our heritage. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph invites viewers to step back into history and imagine themselves strolling along St Austell Street during an era long gone by. It is through such glimpses into our collective memory that we can appreciate both where we have come from and where we are headed as a community.
