EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 1800s, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall. The view captured here is that of St Nicholas Street as it stretches towards Boscawen Street, revealing a charming scene from yesteryears. The south side of St Nicholas Street comes alive with various establishments, each telling its own story. One prominent building that catches the eye is Mallet and Son Furnishing and Agricultural - an all-in-one hub for ironmongers, iron merchants, and cycle agents. Its presence speaks volumes about the evolving needs of society during this era. Photographer Arthur Philp skillfully captures the essence of this historic moment in time. His lens transports us to an age where horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on these cobbled streets. The architecture showcases Victorian charm with its ornate facades and decorative details. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, other names come into focus: Edwin Broad's Victoria Inn stands proudly nearby while Cornish Olivers remains discreetly present in the background. These subtle hints remind us that behind every photograph lies countless stories waiting to be discovered. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Truro's rich heritage and offers viewers a chance to connect with their past. It encapsulates not only architectural marvels but also glimpses into daily life during a bygone era when commerce thrived amidst these storied streetscapes.
