EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Redruth, Cornwall between 1926 and 1940. Four magnificent Western National buses, proudly lined up on a road filled with eager passengers, await their private hire destinations. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the exquisite Leyland Lion coach model that stands out amidst its counterparts. The image showcases not only the evolution of transportation but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. A man can be seen standing near one of the buses, perhaps overseeing operations or bidding farewell to departing travelers. Surrounding the scene are charming houses that reflect traditional Cornish architecture, adding an authentic touch to this historical moment frozen in time. The photograph captures a sense of anticipation and excitement as passengers eagerly board these iconic coaches for their journeys ahead. It serves as a testament to the significance of public transport in connecting communities and facilitating travel across Cornwall during those years. Although we may never know who precisely captured this remarkable shot, it remains an invaluable piece of history preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum. Through images like these, we gain insight into our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of technology and transportation systems today.
