Moresk House, in the vicinity of Moresk Road, Truro, Cornwall. 1920s
The steam laundry visible behind the house with the stone Truro Viaduct, also known as Moresk Viaduct, in the distance. The viaduct is the longest in Cornwall and was built in 1904 to replace Brunels original timber fanned viaduct. Fourteen of the original Brunel stone piers are still standing alongside the newer viaduct, some of which can be seen in the photograph. Moresk House has since been demolished.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Moresk House, a lost gem nestled in the vicinity of Moresk Road, Truro, Cornwall. Taken in the 1920s by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this print showcases not only the grandeur of the house but also provides a glimpse into its surroundings. Intriguingly, behind Moresk House stands a steam laundry facility, emanating an air of industrial progress amidst the serene beauty of Cornwall. The stone Truro Viaduct gracefully stretches across the horizon, adding depth to this picturesque scene. This viaduct holds historical significance as it is known to be Cornwall's longest and was constructed in 1904 to replace Brunel's original timber fanned viaduct. Remarkably, fourteen of Brunel's original stone piers still stand alongside their newer counterpart - some visible within this very frame. Sadly, time has taken its toll on Moresk House as it no longer graces our present landscape; however, through this photograph we can appreciate its architectural splendor forever frozen in time. The image evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when such magnificent structures adorned our cityscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us reflect on the rich history that lies within these walls and celebrate the enduring legacy left behind by those who once called Moresk House their home.
