EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the charming village of Grampound in Cornwall. The image captures a picturesque view down Fore Street, with its quaint houses lining the road and leading our gaze towards the iconic clock tower standing tall in the distance. Adding a touch of exoticism to this Cornish scene is a Chilean pine tree gracefully adorning the right side of the street. However, what truly brings life and joy to this snapshot are the numerous children playfully posed across the road. Their youthful energy fills every corner of this historic photograph, reminding us of simpler times when childhood games were cherished moments spent outdoors. It's heartwarming to see these youngsters frozen in time, their innocent faces brimming with excitement and curiosity. Photographed by Samuel John Govier, an observer capturing everyday life through his lens, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era where community spirit thrived on these cobbled streets. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we can't help but imagine what adventures awaited those children after their playful moment was captured forever. Let us cherish this nostalgic window into Cornish history as it reminds us that amidst changing landscapes and evolving societies, some things remain timeless - like childhood innocence and camaraderie found within simple yet unforgettable games played on cobblestone roads.
