EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint town of Launceston, nestled in the picturesque county of Cornwall during the 1920s. From St Thomas Road in Newport, we are granted a stunning view towards the majestic Launceston Castle. Standing tall and proud atop its hill, it exudes an air of history and grandeur. In this snapshot of everyday life, we witness a bustling street scene filled with activity. A vintage bus can be seen making its way up the steep hill, transporting locals and visitors alike through these charming streets. The sight of people walking leisurely adds to the vibrant atmosphere as they go about their daily routines. The identity of the talented photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown; however, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also captures a moment frozen in time. It serves as a testament to how transportation has evolved over decades while reminding us that some things remain constant – like the enduring charm and character that defines Cornish towns such as Launceston. Preserved within this historical photograph is an authentic glimpse into Cornwall's past - one that transports us back to an era where horse-drawn carriages once roamed these cobbled streets. This evocative piece from Royal Cornwall Museum offers viewers a chance to immerse themselves in nostalgia and reflect upon how far we have come since those simpler times.
