Fine Art Prints From Royal Cornwall Museum

Schoolmaster working as a mason, St Stephen in Brannel, Cornwall. Early 1900s

The original title is " Schoolmaster working as a mason". However, there are two possibilities. This could be the schoolmasters home and he has some form of house renovation being undertaken inside the house, which he is doing some labouring to help out. The other possibility is that he has taken delivery of house coal and is in the the process of breaking it up and storing it at the rear of the property. Note the narrow wooden miners type wheelbarrow to his right. This had a steel wheel and was common in Cornish gardens into the 1950s and 1960s. Also in the background is a barrel on wheels. The schoolmaster is using a long handled Cornish shovel. Photographer: Canon Henry Holroyd Mills

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique glimpse into the life of a schoolmaster in St Stephen, Brannel, Cornwall during the early 1900s. Titled "Schoolmaster working as a mason" it presents two intriguing possibilities. The first suggests that this may be the schoolmaster's home undergoing renovation work, with him actively participating in laborious tasks to assist in the process. Alternatively, it could depict the delivery and storage of house coal at his residence. Noteworthy details within the image include a narrow wooden wheelbarrow commonly used by Cornish gardeners until the mid-20th century, featuring a steel wheel for easy maneuverability. A barrel on wheels can also be seen in the background, adding further context to this snapshot of everyday life. The resourceful schoolmaster is shown utilizing a long-handled Cornish shovel as he carries out his duties with dedication and skill. This photograph was expertly captured by Canon Henry Holroyd Mills, whose keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. As we delve into Victorian and Edwardian times through images like these, we gain valuable insights into rural communities such as this clay village in Cornwall. Let us appreciate their resilience and resourcefulness while acknowledging their contributions to shaping our shared history.
