EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Pydar Street, Truro, Cornwall around 1906. The image captures the bustling atmosphere of this vibrant street, with its charming architecture and lively businesses. As we gaze down the bottom section of Pydar Street, our eyes are drawn to the junction leading to Union Place. On the left side stands Truro Steam Laundry, a testament to the industrious nature of this era. No. 96 is home to London Inn, where Fred Evans presides as proprietor in 1906 while Mrs Edith Evans takes over in later years. The photograph also reveals other notable establishments that once thrived on Pydar Street. Heard & Sons Cornwall Organ Factory proudly displays its presence alongside the Conservative Association building and C. Michael Confectioner's shop. Amidst this busy scene, we catch sight of a young girl carrying a sack from Gill & Son's store while a horse-drawn cart passes by with purposeful intent. Several individuals populate the street; their attire reflecting early twentieth-century fashion. Intriguingly, G. H Philp and Eastmans can be glimpsed in the distance—a reminder of how interconnected communities were even then. Preserved through time by photographer Arthur Philp's lens, this print offers an evocative glimpse into daily life on Pydar Street over a century ago—an invaluable window into Cornwall's rich history for all who behold it at Royal Cornwall Museum today.
