EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century outside Truro Railway Station in Cornwall. The focal point of the image is a remarkable horse-drawn covered wagon belonging to R & J Lean furniture removers, a prominent business during that era. This snapshot showcases an integral part of transportation history as it captures the essence of how goods were moved and delivered across the region. The imposing presence of the majestic horse draws our attention, its powerful stance exuding strength and grace. Standing alongside his trusty companion is a man dressed in traditional attire, embodying the hardworking spirit of Cornwall's locals. His weathered face tells tales of countless journeys undertaken with unwavering dedication. Truro Railway Station forms an impressive backdrop for this scene, its grand architecture reflecting both Victorian elegance and industrial progress. The station served as a hub connecting Cornwall to wider destinations, facilitating trade and commerce throughout the county. This evocative photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when horse-drawn carts were essential for transporting furniture and other goods across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when craftsmanship was cherished, community connections thrived through local businesses like R & J Lean, and every journey embarked upon held its own unique story. As we admire this historical treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded not only of our rich heritage but also how far we have come in terms of technological advancements that shape our modern world today.
