EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s showcases a bustling scene on Quay Street in Truro, Cornwall. The view takes us westwards along the street, with the magnificent Cathedral serving as an impressive backdrop. On the right side of the frame stands the Old Mansion House, exuding grandeur and history. In the center of this snapshot is The Great House, a prominent building that commands attention. Its counterpart can be seen opposite on the left side of Quay Street. Adorning one of its gable ends is an advertisement for Blackfords printers, adding a touch of commercial charm to this picturesque town. Transportation plays a significant role in this image as well. A horse-drawn cart or wagon occupies part of Quay Street's cobblestone road, reminding us of simpler times when horsepower was literal rather than metaphorical. The presence of men adds life and movement to this snapshot frozen in time. They are going about their daily activities, perhaps engaged in conversation or focused on their respective tasks. Notably featured within this composition is an ornate porch leading to what was then known as Palace Theatre—an entrance that promises entertainment and escapism for those seeking respite from everyday life. Captured by an unknown photographer whose talent immortalized this moment forever, this print serves as a window into Truro's past—a testament to its rich heritage and timeless beauty.
