EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the Old Grammar School in St Marys Street, Truro, Cornwall. Once a place of education, it later transformed into Bullen Brothers Show Rooms. The sign proudly displays their expertise in various trades such as plumbing, ironwork, zinc and copper craftsmanship, bell hanging, and gas fitting. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this image captures the essence of a bustling city center. The imposing bell tower stands tall against the backdrop of an ever-evolving urban landscape. Its presence serves as a reminder of Truro's rich history and architectural heritage. The Bullens Bros' showroom was undoubtedly a hub for locals seeking quality craftsmanship and household essentials during that era. From stoves to intricate bells adorning homes across Cornwall, this establishment catered to diverse needs within the community. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time at the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an era when skilled artisans played an essential role in shaping our cities. This photograph not only documents a specific location but also encapsulates the spirit of trade and industry that thrived within Truro during its transformation into a modern metropolis
