Perran Wharf, Perranarworthal, Cornwall. Around 1910
The main road through Perranarworthal looking south past the Norway Inn. There are some women and children in the photograph, one pushing a pram. The late 18th century terraced houses on Riverside can be seen right of centre on the photograph. A horse-drawn van can be seen in the distance. This is similar to TRURI : PEApw.6 but looking the opposite way so probably taken on the same occasion. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Perran Wharf, Perranarworthal, Cornwall circa 1910. This print captures a bustling scene along the main road, as we look south past the iconic Norway Inn. The charm of this historic moment lies not only in the picturesque landscape but also in the presence of women and children who add life and character to the image. One woman can be seen pushing a pram, symbolizing motherhood and nurturing amidst daily activities. The late 18th century terraced houses on Riverside take center stage on this photograph, showcasing their architectural beauty that has stood the test of time. These buildings serve as a reminder of Perranarworthal's rich history and heritage. Intriguingly, if we cast our gaze towards the distance, we catch sight of a horse-drawn van making its way through town—a common mode of transportation during those times. Its presence adds an element of movement and transport to this snapshot from yesteryears. This particular print is reminiscent of another well-known image (TRURI: PEApw. 6), albeit taken from an opposite perspective—suggesting they were captured on the same occasion by photographer Arthur William Jordan. Transport yourself back to early 20th-century Cornwall with this remarkable photo print—an evocative piece that encapsulates both everyday life and historical significance.
