EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Waterfall Gardens in Truro, Cornwall. The year is 1901, and amidst the lush greenery of this Victorian formal garden, we are treated to a glimpse of history. In the background stands Brunel's timber viaduct, a testament to engineering brilliance. Here, we witness the transformation taking place as new stone piers replace their wooden counterparts. Timber shuttering gracefully curves beneath these arches-in-the-making, hinting at the grandeur that awaits completion. On the left side of this picturesque scene stands St George's church, its spire reaching towards the heavens. A symbol of faith nestled amongst nature's beauty. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Tims of Truro - an artist who skillfully captures moments frozen in time. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where steam trains ruled supreme. This photograph holds more than just aesthetic appeal; it tells a story of progress and innovation as well as preserving glimpses into daily life during that period. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tranquil gardens and architectural wonders like Brunel's viaducts, change is constant. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago at Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate how far we have come while cherishing our rich heritage.
