EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history in the heart of St Just, Cornwall. Taken before 1906, it showcases the iconic Cornish Express motor bus parked outside the esteemed Commercial Hotel in Market Square (or Commercial Square). Bathed in warm summer sunlight, this early open-top vehicle stands as a testament to the dawn of modern transportation. The driver and two young men strike a pose for the camera, exuding an air of excitement and adventure. Meanwhile, onlookers from the first-floor window of the hotel also seize this momentous occasion. Two elegantly dressed women and a man gaze out with curiosity or perhaps even admiration at this marvel of engineering. One can't help but wonder if these figures in the window are Sydney Henry Coles and his family – previous owners of this establishment – as they seem to be intimately connected with both its history and prosperity. The identity remains shrouded in mystery as captured by an unknown photographer whose work now finds itself preserved within the A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at Royal Cornwall Museum. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when innovation was rapidly transforming our world. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that progress is built upon moments like these – where dreams take shape against picturesque backdrops like Market Square in St Just, Cornwall.
