EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to an unknown street in Redruth, Cornwall during the early 1900s. The image captures a lively procession, with children joyfully seated in an open wagon adorned with vibrant decorations. It is believed that this festive scene may have been part of a Tea Treat or Bank Holiday celebration. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in the sense of community and merriment it conveys. As we gaze upon these innocent faces filled with excitement and anticipation, we are transported to a bygone era where simple pleasures brought immense happiness. The streetscape itself exudes character, showcasing traditional Cornish architecture and quaint storefronts that reflect the town's rich heritage. Cobblestone paths lead our eyes towards distant buildings draped with bunting, adding to the atmosphere of festivity and unity. Preserved through time, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of those who once walked these very streets. It serves as a reminder of how traditions were cherished and celebrated amidst simpler times when communities came together to create lasting memories. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back to an era where innocence thrived and communal celebrations illuminated even the humblest corners of our beloved Cornwall.
