EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to around 1900, capturing a moment outside the Sennen Board School in Cornwall. The school, known as Sennen Churchtown Board School, was constructed in 1880 and stands proudly against the backdrop of a quaint village setting. In this snapshot frozen by an unknown photographer, we see a horse and trap parked just outside the school's entrance. The presence of this traditional mode of transportation adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when horses were relied upon for travel. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and community as we imagine children eagerly entering through those doors to embark on their educational journey. It is fascinating to ponder what lessons they might have learned within those walls over a century ago. As we gaze at this remarkable photograph, it serves as both a window into history and a testament to the enduring spirit of education. It allows us to reflect on how far our society has progressed while cherishing our roots and heritage. This print is not only visually captivating but also holds immense historical value for Cornwall. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, it offers us an opportunity to connect with our past and appreciate the foundations that shaped our present-day educational system.
