EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Four Lanes, a charming village nestled in the heart of Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque row of houses lining the main street, offering a glimpse into daily life during this era. With its rustic charm and timeless beauty, it is no wonder that this scene has become an iconic representation of Cornish heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Samuel John Govier, we see not only the architecture but also the people who inhabited these streets long ago. A number of men, boys, and girls are posed casually on the cobbled road, their presence adding life and character to the photograph. Their attire reflects both simplicity and elegance - a reflection of their hardworking nature intertwined with Cornish traditions. The atmosphere captured within this image evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about what life was like for those who called Four Lanes home over a century ago. It serves as a testament to how much our world has changed while reminding us that some things remain constant - community spirit and cherished connections among neighbors. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme; where narrow streets were filled with laughter and stories shared between friends. This print truly encapsulates the essence of Cornish street scenes from yesteryears – preserving history one frame at a time.
