This photo print, titled "Children in The Square, Probus, Cornwall" takes us back to the early 1900s. It offers a glimpse into a simpler time when life revolved around close-knit communities and the charm of village living. The Square, adorned with its traditional thatched cottages and cobblestone streets, exudes an undeniable Cornish character. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see children playfully scattered across the square while a man strikes a pose for the photographer's lens. Their innocent expressions reflect the joyous spirit of youth amidst their quaint surroundings. On the left side stands proudly the Jubilee Lamp, casting its warm glow upon this picturesque scene. As we delve deeper into this image's historical significance, it is impossible not to notice how it coincides with Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations during that era. This photograph serves as a testament to how even remote villages like Probus embraced national events with pride and enthusiasm. The presence of Samuel John Govier behind the camera adds another layer of interest to this piece. A skilled photographer capturing everyday moments in Cornwall's history allows us to appreciate his artistry and dedication towards preserving these precious memories. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time; it encapsulates an era marked by simplicity, community bonds, and reverence for tradition—reminding us all of our shared heritage within Churchtown Probus.
