EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a quaint corner of Cornwall, where history and daily life intertwine. The bridge and Post Office at Bolingey, Perranzabuloe, stand as enduring symbols of community connection in this charming village. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the convergence of past and present. The focal point is undoubtedly the picturesque bridge that spans gracefully over a gentle stream. It serves not only as a functional pathway but also as an emblematic landmark that unites both sides of Bolingey. A man and a young girl are captured standing upon its sturdy structure, perhaps contemplating their journey or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Adjacent to the bridge stands the humble yet essential Post Office—a hub for communication and exchange within this tight-knit community. Its weathered walls bear witness to countless stories shared among locals throughout generations. Notably, a poster boldly proclaims "Recruits Wanted" reminding us of times when duty called upon young men to serve their country. Photographed by Arthur Philp with his discerning eye for detail, this image encapsulates Cornish charm through its simplicity and authenticity. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where bridges connected more than just physical spaces; they bridged hearts and minds too. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum invites us to reflect on our own connections with our communities while paying homage to those who came before us—their lives forever
