EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the Wesleyan Board School in Probus, Cornwall, in 1901. The image showcases the school's timeless charm as it stands proudly along the road. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the prominent school bell hanging above the entrance, symbolizing education and community. Beneath this historic bell lies a date stone proudly displaying "1901" marking an important milestone for this educational institution. This particular building replaced its predecessor constructed in 1866 as a Sunday school but later transformed into a day school from 1871 onwards. It is fascinating to witness how education evolved over time within this picturesque Cornish village. The Wesleyan Board School played an integral role in shaping young minds and fostering learning within Probus. Generations of students passed through its doors, leaving behind memories that still resonate with locals today. Over time, this cherished establishment would become known as Probus Community Primary School – a testament to its enduring legacy. Through the lens of photographer Arthur William Jordan, we are transported back more than a century ago to witness not only architectural beauty but also glimpse into an educational system that laid foundations for countless lives. This photograph serves as both a window into history and a reminder of how vital education has always been at every corner of our world - even in small villages like Probus on England's stunning Cornish coast.
