EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque Beach Road in Perranporth, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. Believed to have been captured during the 1920s by talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The scene unfolds with Beach Road bustling with activity. Several vintage cars are parked neatly in the car park, showcasing the evolving transportation of that period. As our eyes wander towards Ponsmere Road, we are greeted by an enchanting sight - a vibrant tennis court nestled amidst nature's beauty. A lone tennis player can be seen engrossed in their game, adding a touch of movement and energy to this serene setting. Intriguingly, it is not just the foreground that captivates our attention; there is also much happening in the background. Numerous people dotting the landscape create an atmosphere of leisure and enjoyment. Perhaps families enjoying a day at the beach or locals relishing their time off work. This remarkable photograph transports us back through time and allows us to immerse ourselves in Perranporth's rich history. It serves as a testament to how life has evolved over decades while reminding us of cherished traditions like tennis matches on sunny afternoons. As we admire this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it serve as an invitation for reflection on our own connection with history and appreciation for those who have documented moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
