EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall, during the 1920s. The image captures a picturesque view looking west along Quay Street, where history and architecture intertwine harmoniously. As our gaze follows the street towards the horizon, we are greeted by the magnificent sight of Truro Cathedral standing proudly against the sky. To our right stands two prominent landmarks - the Old Mansion House and C. Trevail, monumental masons. These buildings exude an air of grandeur and hint at a rich past filled with stories waiting to be discovered. On our left, we catch a glimpse of the Palace Theatre, its presence adding an element of entertainment and culture to this vibrant scene. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; however, their talent for capturing such intricate details is undeniable. Through their lens, they have frozen a moment in time that allows us to immerse ourselves in Truro's heritage. As we admire this print from Royal Cornwall Museum without any commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here (as per request), it serves as a testament to how photography can transport us through space and time while preserving precious memories for generations to come.
