EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of St Agnes railway station in Cornwall. The image transports us to an era when steam trains ruled the tracks and bustling stations were at the heart of local communities. Standing proudly on the platform are a group of railway staff, their uniforms reflecting a bygone era. In the center stands Mr Julian, the esteemed stationmaster, exuding authority and ensuring smooth operations at this vital transportation hub. To his right is Mr Percival Trembath, the porter, who diligently assists passengers with their luggage and provides essential support for train departures and arrivals. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot of daily life at St Agnes station – a place where countless stories unfolded as travelers embarked on journeys both near and far. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur William Jordan, whose lens captured not only faces but also a sense of camaraderie among these dedicated individuals. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst global events like World War I (WW1), everyday life continued its course – people relied on railways for travel, connection, and community. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this historical gem offers us an intimate glimpse into our past; it invites us to appreciate those unsung heroes who kept our world moving forward during challenging times.
