This print captures the grandeur of St Johns Hall, situated on Alverton Street in the charming town of Penzance, Cornwall. Taken around 1900 by renowned photographer Gibson, this image showcases the hall's exquisite architecture from its east end. The building stands proudly as a testament to Victorian design and Cornish heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, a bustling scene unfolds outside St Johns Hall. A diverse group of individuals has gathered, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with life and energy. Among them are several children whose youthful curiosity is evident in their animated expressions and playful demeanor. Amidst the crowd stands a vigilant policeman, his presence adding an air of authority and security to the surroundings. His uniform serves as a reminder that even amidst joyous occasions or everyday routines, law enforcement remains an essential part of community life. Constructed between 1864 and 1867, St Johns Hall represents not only architectural brilliance but also holds historical significance for Penzance residents.
