EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping back in time, this print captures the essence of Truro railway station in Cornwall during the early 1900s. The exterior view showcases a bustling scene with horse-drawn carriages lined up outside, eagerly awaiting passengers and their luggage. Amongst them, two carriages from the renowned Red Lion Hotel stand proudly, ready to transport guests to their desired destinations. The station itself exudes an air of grandeur, its architecture reflecting the importance of rail travel during that era. Posters adorning the walls catch our attention; one particularly intriguing advertisement promotes the Royal Mail Steam Packet company, hinting at exciting voyages across vast oceans. This snapshot was taken before Coronation Terrace came into existence, allowing us a glimpse into Truro's history before urban development transformed its landscape. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when trains were not just modes of transportation but also symbols of progress and connectivity. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where locomotives chugged along tracks and carts clattered on cobblestones. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a testament to Truro's rich heritage and its role as a vital hub for both locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, we can't help but imagine ourselves immersed in that bygone era—witnessing firsthand how life unfolded at Truro railway station over a century ago.
