EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of Truro's rich history, this vintage print transports us back in time to a bygone era. Taken before 1910 by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, it offers an enchanting view across Lemon Quay in Truro, Cornwall. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the picturesque river Kenwyn flowing gently towards Back Quay. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the magnificent Truro Cathedral standing proudly in the background. However, keen observers will notice that something is missing – its iconic west towers! This snapshot was taken just before their completion in 1910, making it a truly unique glimpse into the past. Immersed within this historic setting, one can almost feel the bustling energy and hear echoes of daily life from over a century ago. The quaint buildings lining Lemon Quay evoke images of local merchants trading goods and lively conversations filling the air. Preserved with utmost care at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as a testament to both Arthur William Jordan's artistic talent and Truro's enduring charm. It allows us to appreciate how time has shaped our beloved cityscape while reminding us of its timeless beauty. As we admire this remarkable piece of Cornish heritage through these lens-like windows into history, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our roots.
