EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1926, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is a mighty lorry carrying a large boiler by Ruston of Lincoln. With its registration number RL3792 proudly displayed, this impressive vehicle dominates Quay Street as it navigates through the city. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice other intriguing details that add depth and charm to this snapshot of history. A vintage Falmouth bus (registration number RL3565) can be seen nearby, reminding us of an era when public transportation was still in its early stages. Standing tall against the backdrop is an old Cornish cross outside C. Trevails shop, symbolizing both tradition and spirituality. Amidst all these elements frozen in time, a woman captures our attention as she pushes a pram with her precious cargo - a baby nestled inside. This heartwarming sight reminds us that life goes on amidst progress and change. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Arthur William Jordan whose keen eye for detail has allowed us to glimpse into Truro's past. Through his lens, he immortalizes not just objects but also moments and emotions that resonate even after almost a century. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum serves as more than just documentation; it invites us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the beauty found within everyday scenes like these - where cornish heritage meets industrial progress and human connection end
