EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting town of Truro, nestled in the picturesque county of Cornwall. The focal point of this mesmerizing image is none other than the magnificent Truro Cathedral, a true testament to Gothic Revival architecture. As we gaze upon its towering spires and intricate detailing, it becomes evident why this architectural gem has been an iconic landmark since its construction began in the 1880s. Captured from above by Aeropictorial, a renowned aerial photography company, this unique perspective allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of Truro Cathedral but also the surrounding landscape that embraces it. From lush green fields to quaint rooftops dotting the horizon, every element seems perfectly placed within this charming English countryside. The year is July 1946; World War II has recently come to an end, and amidst rebuilding efforts across Britain, we catch a glimpse of Truro's resilience through this archival photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of both our history and our ability to rebuild and thrive even during challenging times. As part of Historic England's extensive collection, this print offers us an invaluable window into our past. It invites us on a journey through time while igniting curiosity about how life must have been in post-war Cornwall. Let yourself be transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme as you immerse yourself in the beauty captured by Aeropictorial's lens.
