EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photo print, we are transported back in time to the charming Ferry Boat Inn, nestled in the picturesque Helford Passage of Constantine, Cornwall. The year is before 1906, and the inn stands proudly with its whitewashed exterior adorned by a vibrant flagpole displaying the Union Jack. A group of Cornish women can be seen gathered outside, their faces filled with warmth and laughter as they enjoy each other's company. A loyal canine companion faithfully joins them at their side, adding an endearing touch to this snapshot of daily life. Above the inviting entrance door, we notice a sign that reads "G. Banfil licensed to sell Beer, Porter and Spirits" serving as a testament to Mr G. Banfil's dedication to providing refreshment for locals and visitors alike. It is worth noting that Mr G. Banfil sadly passed away in 1906 - a poignant reminder of how history shapes our present-day experiences. Through the lens of photographer Arthur William Jordan, we are granted a glimpse into an era where community thrived within these walls. This evocative image captures not just a pub or public house but also encapsulates the spirit of Cornwall itself: rich in tradition and hospitality. As we marvel at this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate how it transports us back through time while honoring those who came before us – leaving behind legacies etched within historical photographs like this one.
