EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Fore Street, St Austell, around 1910. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling life of this quaint Cornish town during that era. As we peer down Fore Street, our eyes are drawn towards Holy Trinity Church standing tall in the distance. The street is lined with an array of shops adorned with outside displays and illuminated by external lighting. These shopfronts showcase their wares, enticing passersby with colorful signs and carefully arranged merchandise. It's fascinating to see how businesses used creative means to catch the attention of potential customers even back then. In the foreground, a group of young schoolboys can be seen strolling along the pavement, perhaps on their way home after a day at school. Their youthful energy adds a sense of liveliness to this historic scene. A road sweeper diligently carries out his duty amidst all the activity, ensuring that cleanliness is maintained on these busy streets. Although the photographer remains unknown, their skill in capturing this moment in time allows us to appreciate and reflect upon St Austell's rich history. This print serves as a valuable reminder of how much has changed over the years while also preserving memories for generations to come.
