Main Road, Ladock, Cornwall - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of Main Road in Ladock, Cornwall, taken around 1917 by renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan. Transporting us to a bygone era, the image offers a fascinating insight into the heart of this quaint Cornish village. As we delve into the details captured within this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are immediately drawn to the charming post office nestled on the left side of Main Road. Its rustic facade exudes an air of authenticity and serves as a reminder of simpler times when handwritten letters were treasured means of communication. On the right side stands the iconic Falmouth Arms pub, proudly anchoring itself amidst its surroundings. With its inviting exterior and warm glow emanating from within, one can only imagine tales shared over pints and laughter that once filled its walls. The photograph encapsulates not just architectural marvels but also hints at snippets of daily life during that period. Perhaps there were villagers strolling along Main Road or horse-drawn carriages passing through on their way to distant destinations. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to connect with history on a personal level – it invites us to reflect upon how much has changed while appreciating what remains constant throughout generations. It is an invaluable glimpse into Ladock's past and a testament to Arthur William Jordan's skillful artistry behind his lens.
