The Cathedral, Truro, Cornwall. December 1901 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to December 1901, offering a unique perspective on the construction of Truro Cathedral. The image showcases the cathedral during its building phase, with an intriguing blend of completion and ongoing work. The west front stands proudly complete, adorned with intricate architectural details that hint at the grandeur yet to come. However, what truly captures one's attention is the sight of scaffolding enveloping the entire front facade. It serves as a testament to the tireless efforts and craftsmanship invested in this monumental project. Every inch seems meticulously covered by wooden supports and ladders, emphasizing both dedication and ambition. Notably absent are the towering spires we associate with Truro Cathedral today. Instead, we witness them at their halfway stage - a symbol of progress frozen in time. Little did those who observed this scene know that it would take another nine years for these magnificent towers to reach their full height and be unveiled to an awe-struck public. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also recognize how far Truro Cathedral has come since then. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance while remaining an iconic landmark within Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
