EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Back Quay in Truro, Cornwall, after the completion of filling-in works in October 1937. The view showcases a delightful scene featuring prominent landmarks such as the Market Inn, City Hall's rear facade, and N. Gill & Son. Standing proudly amidst this picturesque setting are a small group of men outside the Market Inn. The image transports us back to a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace along this charming riverside street. The architecture exudes character and history, with each building telling its own story. The Market Inn stands as an inviting pub that has undoubtedly witnessed countless tales unfold within its walls. City Hall's rear façade provides a glimpse into local governance and administration during that time period. Its grandeur hints at important decisions made within those walls for the betterment of Truro's residents. Nestled between these iconic structures is N. Gill & Son, perhaps serving as a reminder of bustling commercial activity along Back Quay during that era. Although we do not know who captured this remarkable moment frozen in time, their lens skillfully immortalized this slice of Cornish heritage for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum today, it serves as both an intriguing historical document and an invitation to explore the rich tapestry woven by Truro's past inhabitants along its vibrant streetscapes.
