EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1921, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall. The focal point is the prominent S. Hicks & Son Garage, situated near the picturesque Boscawen Bridge. This establishment proudly served as an authorized Ford dealer for motors and carriages of all descriptions. The image captures a slice of daily life as two well-dressed gentlemen donning their fashionable bowler hats engage in a lively conversation on the street outside the garage. Their animated gestures suggest a friendly exchange amidst the backdrop of vintage cars parked nearby. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully immortalizes this moment, allowing us to appreciate not only his technical prowess but also his ability to capture candid human interactions with such authenticity. This photograph serves as a testament to both Cornish history and automotive heritage, showcasing how local businesses like S. Hicks & Son played an integral role in serving their community's transportation needs during that era. Displayed at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into Truro's past while highlighting its connection to wider social and economic developments taking place across Britain at that time.
