EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Truro, Cornwall, during a transformative period between September 1936 and October 1937. The image captures the early stages of the filling-in works at Lemon Quay, revealing a fascinating glimpse into the city's history. From our vantage point on Back Quay, just outside the Old City Hall, we are presented with a view looking westward. The scene is dominated by an intricate network of covered waterways that wind their way through the heart of Truro. These waterways, known as Kenwyn River, played a vital role in shaping the city's development. In this particular moment frozen in time by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we witness laborers diligently working on filling-in these waterways to make way for future urban expansion. Their efforts are evident as mounds of earth and construction materials dot Lemon Quay. As our gaze extends beyond the construction site towards the horizon, we catch sight of Lemon Bridge gracefully spanning over Kenwyn River. Its elegant arches stand as a testament to both engineering prowess and architectural beauty. This remarkable photograph offers us not only an insight into Truro's past but also serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time. It invites contemplation about progress and transformation while honoring those who labored tirelessly to shape this vibrant Cornish cityscape that continues to thrive today.
