EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1925 with this print of Carbis Bay Railway Station in Cornwall. The image captures a moment frozen in history, where a group of people and their fascinating modes of transportation gather outside the station. In the foreground, we see a motor car proudly displaying its registration number YA 2700. This sleek vehicle stands as a symbol of progress and modernity during an era when cars were still relatively rare sights on the roads. Its presence hints at the changing times and evolving technology that would soon transform our world. Beside the motor car, an intriguing contrast unfolds as a man patiently waits with his trusty donkey cart. This humble mode of transport serves as a reminder of simpler times, when horsepower was provided by loyal four-legged companions rather than engines fueled by petrol. Carbis Bay Railway Station itself exudes charm with its rustic architecture, showcasing typical Cornish characteristics. Nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, it served as both a gateway for travelers exploring Cornwall's stunning landscapes and a hub connecting local communities. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum offers us not only glimpses into daily life nearly a century ago but also invites contemplation about how much has changed since then. It is truly remarkable how one single photograph can encapsulate so many layers of history – from technological advancements to societal shifts – all within the frame.
