EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of The Camborne Redruth Tramway, captured in Redruth, Cornwall. In this snapshot from history, we witness an open top tram number 4 gracefully approaching the west end of Redruth, accompanied by a charming horse and carriage. As it glides through the streets, its sides proudly display an advertisement for Moffatt of Camborne. The scene is alive with bustling activity as men go about their daily routines amidst the clattering sounds of the tram and hooves on cobblestone roads. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when trams were a vital mode of transportation connecting communities. The Camborne Redruth Tramway opened its doors to passengers on November 7th, 1902 and continued its service until September 29th, 1927. It played an essential role in shaping local life during those years. Preserved within the A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this image serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us how far we have come since then. Although the photographer remains unknown, their skillful composition allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in this fascinating moment.
