Framed Photos From Royal Cornwall Museum

River Street, Truro, Cornwall. Late 1800s

A view of River Street, looking east, showing the Truro Savings Bank and Baptist Chapel, later to become the Royal Cornwall Museum. The architect of both buildings was Philip Sambell (1798-1874). Truro Savings Bank was built in 1847. The bank closed in 1894 and became Hendersons School of Mining in 1897. The School of Mining closed in 1907 and the Royal Institution of Cornwall purchased the building in 1908 to house their growing collections. Truro Baptist Chapel was built in 1850. The chapel was purchased by the RIC in 1985 as an extension to the museum. Extensive refurbishment and additions followed, including the link between the two buildings. An upper floor was added to the Baptist Chapel creating the Treffry gallery. Recorded in 1852-1853 at 27 River Street, was the premises of J. Hugo, a dyer. The business had moved to Kenwyn Street by 1878 and the building is now, in 2017, occupied by Simpsons of Cornwall. The photograph also shows a horse drawn cart and several people.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the late 1800s, offering a glimpse into the bustling River Street in Truro, Cornwall. The view stretches eastward, showcasing two prominent buildings that have played significant roles in the city's history. On the left stands the Truro Savings Bank, an architectural gem constructed by Philip Sambell in 1847. Once a symbol of financial security for locals, it later transformed into Hendersons School of Mining before finding its ultimate purpose as a home for the Royal Institution of Cornwall's collections. Adjacent to it is the Truro Baptist Chapel, built in 1850 and also designed by Sambell. This historic place of worship became part of the Royal Cornwall Museum when purchased by them in 1985. Through extensive refurbishment and additions over time, including a connecting link between both structures and an upper floor addition to create the Treffry gallery within the chapel walls. The photograph not only captures these magnificent buildings but also offers glimpses of daily life at that time. A horse-drawn cart can be seen traversing River Street while several individuals go about their day amidst this vibrant scene. Preserved through time by an unknown photographer, this image allows us to appreciate how Truro has evolved while still honoring its rich heritage represented by these iconic landmarks.
