EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing a Great Western Railway open-top double-decker bus parked outside the iconic Commercial Hotel in St Just, Penwith, Cornwall. This snapshot of history transports us to an era when horse-drawn carriages were gradually being replaced by modern modes of transportation. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe three men confidently boarding the upper deck via external steps. Dressed in their finest attire, they are undoubtedly embarking on a journey filled with anticipation and excitement. Meanwhile, a man wearing a flat cap leans casually against the railings on the pavement, accompanied by his loyal four-legged companion—a small dog that seems equally intrigued by the scene unfolding before them. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to progress and innovation during that period. The imposing presence of the bus juxtaposed against the charming architecture of the Commercial Hotel creates an intriguing contrast between tradition and modernity. While we may never know who precisely captured this slice of history through their lens, we can appreciate their ability to immortalize everyday life for future generations. As you gaze upon this image, allow yourself to be transported back in time—imagining what it must have been like to witness such technological advancements firsthand while savoring every detail that brings this historic moment alive once more.
