EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling street scene in Truro, Cornwall, around 1910. The focal point of the image is the magnificent High Cross standing tall and proud in the center. A horse-drawn bus, known as the St Columb-Summercourt-Truro horse bus, takes center stage with its passengers eagerly awaiting their journey. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by other pedestrians going about their daily activities. The architectural beauty of this historic city shines through as Burtons China Galleries occupy the Assembly Rooms adjacent to Burtons Furniture Warehouses. These establishments add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the vibrant street scene. Truro Cathedral gracefully peeks into view on the right-hand side of this photograph, showcasing its grandeur against a backdrop of charming buildings and cobbled streets. Its presence adds an air of spirituality and tranquility to this otherwise bustling cityscape. Although we do not know who captured this moment in time, it serves as a testament to both Cornish heritage and transportation history. The horses that pull these carriages symbolize an era when horsepower ruled the roads instead of engines. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in a bygone era filled with charm, character, and community spirit.
