EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Horse buses in The Square, Probus, Cornwall. The image captures a bustling scene as two horse-drawn buses stand outside the Post Office, eagerly awaiting passengers. The one on the left proudly displays its name 'Albion', while its companion is known as 'Magnet' – both serving the Grampound-St Austell-Truro route. As you gaze at this snapshot from history, your eyes are drawn towards the Jubilee Lamp on the left side of The Square. Its warm glow illuminates the quaint village road and adds a touch of nostalgia to this charming scene. In the background, Annie Fuglers shop stands tall, reminding us of simpler times when local businesses thrived. Transportation was an integral part of daily life during that era, and these horse buses were a lifeline for villagers traveling between towns. This photograph not only showcases their importance but also highlights how Cornish communities embraced progress while preserving their unique heritage. With Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee just around the corner during this period, it's fascinating to imagine how these streets buzzed with excitement and anticipation for such grand celebrations. Samuel John Govier expertly captured this moment in time through his lens, immortalizing a piece of Cornwall's rich history. This remarkable print offers a glimpse into bygone days – where cornish charm meets streetlights and transport intertwines with tradition.
