EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Merther Lane, a quaint village nestled in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The focus of this snapshot is the charming road side view of the local school, which was built in 1889 with the purpose of serving not only St Michael Penkivel but also Lamorran and Merther parishes. Standing proudly next to the school is a small thatched cottage, exuding an air of rustic simplicity. The photographer behind this evocative image is none other than Arthur William Jordan, who skillfully captured the essence of rural Cornish life during this era. Today, it's fascinating to note that what once served as a hub for education has been transformed into a vital community space - now functioning as the village hall. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in Cornish history - showcasing both architectural heritage and educational development within these picturesque surroundings. It serves as a reminder of how schooling played an integral role in shaping communities during those times. As we admire this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use; instead focusing on its ability to transport us back to simpler times when education and thatched cottages were at the heart of village life in Cornwall.
