EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint streets of Penryn, Cornwall, around 1904. The image captures a picturesque view from West Street, showcasing two prominent establishments that were an integral part of the local community during that era. On the right side stands the charming Three Tuns Inn, with its inviting facade and warm glow emanating from within. It was under the capable stewardship of Amelia Demcey that this inn flourished as a hub for locals and travelers alike. Peeking through behind is another iconic establishment known as the Cornish Arms, adding to the character and charm of this historic street scene. The photographer responsible for capturing this momentous slice of history is believed to be Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye has immortalized these buildings forever. The photograph not only showcases architectural beauty but also offers glimpses into daily life at that time. In particular, it features several children who are seemingly engrossed in their own world amidst this bustling street. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and nostalgia to an already enchanting composition. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as a testament to our rich heritage and allows us to step back in time momentarily – relishing in the simplicity and elegance of early 20th-century Penryn while paying homage to those who played significant roles in shaping its vibrant community.
