EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the charming town of Redruth in Cornwall. The image captures Heanton Road from the vantage point of Heanton Terrace, providing a unique perspective on this bustling street. In the foreground, we see a quaint library nestled along Clinton Road, exuding an air of intellectual curiosity and community spirit. As our eyes wander towards the background, we are treated to breathtaking views of Carn Brea and Bassett Monument majestically rising against the sky. These prominent landmarks serve as reminders of Cornwall's rich history and natural beauty. The origins of this remarkable photograph remain shrouded in mystery as its photographer remains unknown. However, it is thanks to A. K. Hamilton Jenkin's collection that we have been granted access to such a precious visual treasure. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the echoes of horse-drawn carriages traversing these cobbled streets and catch glimpses of locals going about their daily lives. It serves as a poignant reminder that while times may change, some elements endure - like Redruth's timeless charm and sense of community. This print is not intended for commercial use but rather offers an opportunity for reflection on our shared heritage and appreciation for Cornwall's enduring allure.
