EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant streets of Truro, Cornwall on a fateful Friday the 13th in July 1917. This print captures a momentous occasion known as 'Frances Day', where Red Cross collectors took to Boscawen Street adorned in whimsical fancy dress. The Bullen Brothers shop stands proudly to the left, its presence adding charm and character to this snapshot of history. In this bustling scene, men and women can be seen strolling along the street with an air of purpose. Some lean on elegant walking sticks, while others carry themselves with grace and poise. A vintage car parked nearby adds a touch of modernity amidst the timeless backdrop of historic buildings. The centerpiece of this photograph is undoubtedly the majestic water fountain that graces Boscawen Street. Its intricate design and flowing waters provide respite from the summer heat, attracting both locals and visitors alike. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era filled with camaraderie and community spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from World War I's Great War period, it serves as a poignant reminder of resilience during challenging times
