EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to Trispen village street, nestled in the picturesque region of St Erme, Cornwall. The focal point of this charming scene is undoubtedly the St Erme Reading Room, a cherished establishment that has been serving the community since its inception in 1884. Its presence stands as a testament to the importance placed on education and intellectual growth during those times. Intriguingly, what truly brings this image to life are the group of young boys standing alongside a pram carrying an adorable baby. Their youthful energy and curiosity seem palpable even through this still frame captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan. One can only wonder about their dreams and aspirations for the future as they gather outside this cultural hub. The rustic charm of Trispen village street is evident with its quaint cottages lining both sides of the road, exuding an air of simplicity and tranquility that was characteristic of Cornish villages at that time. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life in rural Cornwall during an era when close-knit communities thrived. As we delve into history through images like these, we gain insight into how society has evolved over time while also appreciating timeless values such as community spirit and intellectual pursuits fostered within places like reading rooms. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and reminds us to cherish our roots while embracing progress.
