EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of transportation in Cornwall. Taken in 1919 on Boscawen Street, Truro, it showcases two sturdy lorries belonging to the Cornwall Transport Company. These vehicles were instrumental in connecting Penzance and Truro with London during a time when railway strikes disrupted traditional modes of travel. The image exudes an air of resilience as these powerful machines stand tall against the backdrop of bustling city life. The license plate numbers, AF2074 and AF2281, proudly displayed on each lorry, symbolize their importance within the company's fleet. Cornish men can be seen surrounding the lorries, perhaps drivers or workers associated with this thriving transport business. Their presence adds a human touch to this snapshot from history, reminding us that behind every successful enterprise are dedicated individuals who make it all possible. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this scene with his lens, freezing a moment that would otherwise have been lost to time. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the impressive vehicles but also the architectural charm of Boscawen Street itself. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum today, we are transported back to an era where innovation triumphed over adversity and where companies like Cornwall Transport played a vital role in keeping communities connected across vast distances.
