This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to 1915, capturing a glimpse of life within the Cathedral School situated in Truro, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of pupils engrossed in their scientific studies within the school's laboratory. It is evident that education was highly valued at this institution, as evidenced by the well-equipped and modern facilities available even during those times. The Cathedral School held great historical significance, with its foundation stone being laid on October 21st, 1908. Originally established to educate choristers for the cathedral, it served as an educational hub for generations of students until its closure in 1982. This photograph offers us a rare window into one aspect of daily life at this esteemed institution. While we do not know who precisely captured this momentous scene through their lens, we can appreciate their skillful composition and ability to freeze time.
