EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1959 takes us back in time to the bustling city of Truro, Cornwall. Standing proudly at High Cross, we are presented with a glimpse of the former Assembly Rooms, an architectural gem that once housed the Cathedral Garage and offices for the Commercial Union Assurance company. Adjacent to this historic building is another notable establishment - the Cornish Mutual Assurance company. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but notice the charming details that surround it. On the right-hand side, vibrant flower beds adorn High Cross, adding a splash of color to this already picturesque scene. Although just out of frame, we can almost feel the grandeur emanating from Truro Cathedral as it watches over its beloved city. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures not only these physical elements but also manages to encapsulate a sense of nostalgia and charm within his lens. The composition draws our attention towards every intricate detail - from quaint telephone boxes dotting the streetscape to perhaps even capturing glimpses of passersby like Joyce Greenham. This remarkable print now finds its place within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, serving as a testament to Truro's rich history and architectural heritage. It invites us on a journey through time while reminding us how much has changed yet how much remains timeless in this enchanting corner of Cornwall.
