EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Venton East Square, St. Just, Cornwall' and captured by Alfred Newton and Sons in the year 1901, offers a glimpse into the past of this quaint English village. The scene unfolds before us as a group of people, including Mrs. Barnes and her children, gather outside their cozy cottages located on Venton East Square in St. Just, Cornwall. The Edwardian era, a period of great social and technological change in Britain, is palpable in the way the subjects are dressed, with the women donning high collars and voluminous skirts, and the men wearing tailored suits and hats. The children, bundled up against the chill, play and frolic in the dirt, their laughter echoing through the square. The simple, red-roofed houses, with their whitewashed walls and small windows, exude a sense of warmth and community. The cobblestone streets, lined with hedges and trees, add to the picturesque charm of the scene. Alfred Newton and Sons, a renowned photography studio based in Cornwall, expertly captured the essence of this moment in time. The photograph is a testament to the daily life of the people of St. Just during the early 20th century, a time when life was simpler, and the bonds of community were strong. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive in the charming village of St. Just, Cornwall.
