EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Truro, Cornwall, after the year 1922. Standing proudly in front of the war memorial on Boscawen Street is the remarkable RAC official trial car, a true symbol of resilience and determination. Its license plate reads AF 9225, showcasing its prestigious status. The car's presence adds a touch of elegance to this historic street scene. The war memorial itself was unveiled just days before this photograph was taken on October 15th, 1922. It stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. Intriguingly, behind the magnificent vehicle at number 32 Boscawen Street looms Bullen Brothers hardware shop. This glimpse into everyday life provides context for the era captured within this image. While we may not know who precisely captured this moment frozen in time, their skilled eye has allowed us to appreciate an important piece of Cornish history. This snapshot encapsulates both transportation and local heritage with its focus on the RAC official trial car and its surroundings. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an era where vehicles like these were seen as symbols of progress and adventure.
