EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall, after the year 1922. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the magnificent Coinage Hall building, which at that time housed Lloyds Bank. Its grandeur and architectural beauty are truly awe-inspiring. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn towards the right-hand side where two significant landmarks catch our attention. Firstly, a charming water fountain stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Although it has since been relocated to Victoria Park, its presence here adds a touch of elegance and serenity to the bustling street scene. Adjacent to the fountain lies a solemn War Memorial paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during times of conflict. This poignant reminder serves as a testament to Truro's rich history and unwavering spirit. The street itself teems with life as several individuals can be seen going about their daily routines. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era; one person catches our eye wearing a stylish cloche hat - an iconic accessory synonymous with early 20th-century women's fashion. Through Arthur William Jordan's lens, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into Truro's vibrant past. This remarkable photograph captures not only architectural marvels but also everyday life in this historic Cornish town – forever preserving these moments for generations to come.
