EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting History: A Glimpse into Truro's Past". In this print from September 1922, we are transported back in time to the bustling Truro railway station in Cornwall. The image captures a remarkable scene as a large boiler rests on a trailer, being towed by an impressive tractor. It is believed that this extraordinary contraption was destined for delivery at the Poor Law Institution, standing as a testament to the industrial progress of its era. The composition showcases not only the mechanical marvel of the boiler but also provides us with intriguing glimpses of everyday life during that period. Cornish men can be seen curiously observing this unusual sight while going about their daily routines. In the background, an elegant water tower stands tall against the sky, symbolizing both utility and beauty. Adding further charm to this snapshot of history are two prominent features - a sturdy telegraph pole and a magnificent horse patiently waiting nearby. These elements remind us of how vital communication and transportation were in connecting communities during those times. Preserved by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this photograph offers us an invaluable window into Truro's past – capturing moments often forgotten or overlooked. As we admire this piece at Royal Cornwall Museum today, let it serve as a reminder of our rich heritage and inspire curiosity about those who came before us.
