EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back to a quaint Cornish village, Station Road in St Newlyn East. Bathed in warm sunlight on a blissful summer day, the image captures the essence of a bygone era. Standing proudly amidst this picturesque street is H. Hawkey's small Cycle Agents shop, its charming facade inviting passersby to explore its treasures. In this snapshot of time, we witness an intriguing cast of characters that bring life and vitality to the scene. A local postman stands tall next to a curious child, their interaction hinting at stories waiting to be told. Perhaps they are discussing letters or packages destined for distant shores or simply sharing tales from around town. The identity of the photographer may remain unknown, but their skill in capturing this slice of history is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized not just a street view but also an entire community's spirit and way of life. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, our imaginations run wild with possibilities about what transpired beyond its frame. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within seemingly ordinary moments lie extraordinary stories waiting patiently to be discovered.
