EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque town of Truro, Cornwall in 1910 with this photo print. Taken from the west side of the River Kenwyn, the view offers a glimpse into daily life along Back Quay. On the right-hand side, a sailing barge gracefully rests near The Green, while a small group of men, women, and children strike a pose for an unknown photographer. In the distance, Lemon Bridge stands proudly as it spans across the river. But what truly captures one's attention is the newly completed cathedral that graces the background. Its towering presence adds an air of grandeur to this quaint riverside scene. Transportation plays a vital role in this bustling port city; boats dotting the water serve as evidence of its maritime importance. The river acts as both a lifeline and gateway for goods and people alike. This historic photograph not only transports us visually but also stirs our curiosity about life during that era. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while preserving memories frozen within its frame. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate its cultural significance and cherish these glimpses into our shared past.
