EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Market Strand, Falmouth, Cornwall taken between 1910-1920. The bustling scene comes alive as horse-drawn cabs traverse the cobblestone streets, transporting passengers to their desired destinations. On the right side of the photograph stands the temporary headquarters of The Capital & Counties Bank Ltd. , a testament to Falmouth's thriving economy during that era. The image showcases a vibrant mix of Cornish men and women going about their daily activities. Some are seen engaging in lively conversations while others busy themselves with trade and commerce. Ships can be spotted in the background, serving as a reminder of Falmouth's rich maritime heritage. As you delve deeper into this snapshot from history, your eyes will be drawn to various intriguing details. Blankets draped over shoulders provide warmth on what appears to be a chilly day, while nose bags hanging from horses' mouths indicate a brief pause for nourishment amidst their tireless work. Illuminating the streets are charming street lamps casting an enchanting glow upon Market Strand; they stand tall like sentinels watching over this vibrant hub of activity. This remarkable photograph is not only an exquisite piece capturing life in early 20th century Cornwall but also serves as a window into our collective past—a testament to how far we have come since those bygone days.
