EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Perranporth street scene, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. Around 1925" takes us back in time to a charming era of the past. The image beautifully captures a bustling street scene in Perranporth, showcasing the essence of this Cornish coastal town during the early 20th century. In the foreground stands Sampson Mitchells shop, an iconic establishment that served as a hub for locals and visitors alike. Its presence adds character to the photograph, with its inviting storefront displaying various goods and produce. A vintage car parked outside further enhances the nostalgic atmosphere of this snapshot from history. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur William Jordan. Through his lens, he skillfully immortalized this moment in time – freezing it forever within these delicate monochrome tones. As we peer into this window to the past, we are transported to an era where life moved at a slower pace; where neighbors greeted each other on cobbled streets and small businesses thrived amidst tight-knit communities. This print serves as a precious reminder of our shared heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon how much has changed over the years while cherishing what remains timeless about Perranporth's unique identity. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, it invites visitors to immerse themselves in Cornwall's rich history by exploring its vibrant streets through Arthur William Jordan's lens - capturing moments that will forever be etched into our collective memory.
