EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the vibrant streets of Truro, Cornwall, this print captures the essence of a momentous day - 22nd June 1911. As we gaze upon Victoria Place and St Nicholas Street from the vantage point of Victoria Square, we are transported to a bygone era when excitement filled the air. The shops lining these historic streets have been adorned with magnificent decorations in honor of the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. On our left stands Rickards Temperance Hotel and Refreshment Rooms at number 24 Victoria Place, exuding an inviting charm that beckons passersby. Just across from it is Jennings (Amos and Sons), grocers on St Nicholas Street, their storefront bursting with an array of tantalizing goods that surely delighted locals and visitors alike. And next door to them is J. Cocks, boot and shoe dealers at number 11 St Nicholas Street – a haven for those seeking stylish footwear. Adding further intrigue to this snapshot frozen in time are two figures dressed impeccably in Edwardian attire - a lady and gentleman who epitomize the fashion trends of their era. Their presence lends an air of elegance as they navigate through bustling crowds on these iconic streets. Preserved within this photograph's frame lies not only a glimpse into Truro's past but also a testament to its enduring spirit. A remarkable piece capturing history's embrace.
