EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Truro, Cornwall in May 1921. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Boscawen Bridge, gracefully spanning over the glistening River Allen at full tide. Its elegant arches stand as a testament to both engineering prowess and natural beauty. In the background, we catch a glimpse of two prominent establishments that played an integral role in this bustling community. M. L. Blamey & Sons agricultural store proudly displays its name on a signboard, symbolizing their commitment to serving local farmers and contributing to the region's agrarian economy. Adjacent to it stands John H. Radmore's corn, flour, and cake merchant shop - a hub for culinary delights that surely tempted passersby with its aromatic offerings. As our eyes wander towards the skyline, we are greeted by Truro school buildings standing tall against nature's backdrop. These educational institutions have undoubtedly shaped countless young minds throughout generations while adding architectural charm to this charming Cornish town. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur Philp who skillfully captured not only these iconic landmarks but also managed to freeze a moment in time where tranquility meets progress. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as an invaluable window into Truro's rich history - reminding us of its vibrant past while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond each stone bridge or towering building corner within this enchanting cityscape.
