EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Market Place of St Ives, Cornwall, around 1873. The main focus is on the George and Dragon Inn, a prominent establishment owned by Alice Rowe as recorded in Kellys Directory for that year. Sadly, this historic house met its demise in 1887. The image showcases the inn's grandeur with its imposing architecture and inviting entrance. One can almost imagine the lively atmosphere within those walls during its heyday. It served as a hub for locals and travelers alike, offering respite and refreshment after long journeys or busy market days. Across the street stands another notable landmark - The Golden Lion pub. In front of it, we see a group of people gathered together, perhaps engaging in animated conversations or simply enjoying each other's company. This glimpse into everyday life adds depth to our understanding of this vibrant community. Photographed by Gibson, this magical lantern slide captures not only buildings but also moments frozen in time; it transports us back to an era when these establishments were at their peak popularity. As we admire this historical treasure from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, let us appreciate the significance of these Cornish inns - symbols of hospitality and camaraderie that played integral roles within their communities for generations past.
