EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Truro, Cornwall in 1960. The bustling scene captured by photographer Charles Woolf showcases St Nicholas Street and Victoria Square in all its glory. As our eyes wander through the image, we are drawn to the prominent Mallett & Son Ltd building, standing tall with its timeless charm. Next to it, County Stores catches our attention with its inviting display windows that undoubtedly enticed passersby. Halfords also makes an appearance in this snapshot of history, reminding us of a time when bicycles were a popular mode of transportation. However, what truly adds life and character to this photograph is the young woman gracefully walking underneath the Rentaset sign on the left-hand side. Her full skirt and bolero fashion perfectly encapsulate the style trends of that era. The inclusion of part of the Victoria Inn completes this nostalgic scene as we imagine locals and visitors alike enjoying moments filled with laughter and camaraderie within those walls. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a precious window into Truro's past—a reminder of how much has changed over time while preserving cherished memories for generations to come.
