EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a charming scene in Truro, Cornwall, after 1902. A group of children, accompanied by a baby nestled in a pram, stand beside the stone bridge that crosses over the leat to Victoria Gardens. In the background, we catch a glimpse of St Georges Chapel and Carvedras Viaduct. The viaduct's all-stone structure replaced Brunel's original timber fanned design in 1902. Victoria Gardens itself was established as a tribute to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It serves as an idyllic oasis within the bustling cityscape of Truro. This image offers us a window into the past, showcasing not only the beauty of nature but also glimpses into period clothing and recreation. The photographer behind this evocative snapshot is believed to be Arthur William Jordan, although it remains uncertain. Regardless of its origins, this photograph transports us back in time and invites us to imagine what life was like for these children playing amidst such historical landmarks.
