EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to St Austell Road, Probus, Cornwall. The image captures a picturesque view along the road, starting from the north end of the square. On the left side of the street stands Annie Fuglers shop, a charming establishment that adds character to this quaint village scene. What truly brings this snapshot to life is a group of children joyfully playing in the middle of the road. Dressed in hats and aprons, they exude innocence and happiness as they engage in traditional games with hoops and a wheelbarrow. Their carefree laughter echoes through Churchtown, creating an atmosphere filled with youthful energy. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully freezes this moment in time for future generations to appreciate. His keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this bygone era when simple pleasures brought immense delight. As we gaze upon this remarkable print at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and communities thrived on close-knit relationships. It serves as a reminder that amidst technological advancements and societal changes, there is beauty in simplicity and human connection
