EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene of Truro, Cornwall in the early 20th century. The view showcases the picturesque River Kenwyn as it gracefully winds its way towards Lemon Bridge and Back Quay. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the magnificent cathedral with its two western towers proudly standing tall on the skyline. The photograph beautifully depicts a bustling harbor town, showcasing both waterways and transport. A sailing barge peacefully rests alongside Back Quay, adding to the charm of this maritime setting. The Green, adorned with lush trees, takes center stage in this snapshot of history. Possibly captured by Arthur Philp, an accomplished photographer of his time, this image offers us a window into Truro's past. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when river transportation played a vital role in connecting communities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back to an era where life moved at a slower pace along these tranquil waters. This is not just any ordinary picture; it is an exquisite piece that encapsulates the essence of Cornish heritage and reminds us of Truro's rich history as both a city and port town.
