Harveys timber yard, Truro, Cornwall. 1923: A Glimpse into the Cornish Industrial Heritage". Step back in time to the bustling year of 1923 with this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum. The image showcases Harveys timber yard, a cornerstone of Truro's industrial landscape during that era. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an age where craftsmanship and hard work were paramount. The timber workshop comes alive with activity as workers diligently ply their trade amidst stacks of lumber and sawdust-filled air. Each individual plays a vital role in transforming raw materials into essential building components for Cornwall's growing infrastructure. From skilled carpenters meticulously shaping wood to laborers hauling heavy loads, every occupation intertwines seamlessly within this hive of industry. Captured by renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan, this photograph not only immortalizes the daily grind but also sheds light on the significance of Harvey & Company Ltd. , prominent timber importers at that time.

This evocative image serves as a testament to both Cornish resilience and its rich industrial heritage. It invites us to appreciate the tireless efforts behind constructing our towns and cities while honoring those who shaped them brick by brick – or rather plank by plank – leaving an indelible mark on our architectural landscape.
