EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to around 1910, capturing a scene of everyday life on Boscawen Street in Truro, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is a magnificent horse and cart loaded with sacks, parked outside the iconic Red Lion Hotel. The photographer, Arthur William Jordan, skillfully captures the essence of this bygone era. The horse stands tall and proud, its strength evident as it patiently waits for its next command. Adorned with traditional harnesses and reins, it exudes an air of elegance amidst the bustling street. The cart itself is laden with sacks - perhaps filled with goods or produce destined for local markets or nearby farms. Boscawen Street comes alive in this photograph; its cobbled surface reflecting the soft glow emanating from gas lamps lining both sides of the road. These lamps cast a warm light upon passersby who are seemingly unaware of their presence as they go about their daily routines. Intriguingly positioned behind the horse and cart is a grand bank building that adds an element of sophistication to this otherwise rustic setting. It serves as a reminder that even in smaller towns like Truro during this period, commerce played an important role in shaping local communities. Through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to witness a momentary glimpse into history – where horses were relied upon for transportation and streets were illuminated by flickering gas lamps. This evocative image truly encapsulates
