EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print capturing the essence of a bygone era. Taken in the early 1900s, it showcases the quaint village of St Stephen in Brannel, Cornwall. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent Horse Bus, an iconic mode of transport during Victorian and Edwardian times. As children eagerly gather around, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement, they watch as the Laddock - St Austell - Truro horse bus arrives or departs outside the historic Queens Head Inn. The charm of this snapshot lies not only in its depiction of transport but also in its portrayal of daily life within a clay village community. In the background stands St Stephen's Parish church, a testament to centuries-old tradition and faith that has shaped this picturesque corner of Cornwall. Meanwhile, right at the forefront sits a humble water pump – an essential feature providing sustenance for both villagers and horses alike. Photographer Canon Henry Holroyd Mills skillfully captures every intricate detail within this frame: from the worn cobblestone streets to each child's eager expression. This print transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages were commonplace and evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. Immerse yourself in history with this remarkable piece that encapsulates not just transportation but also Cornish heritage and community spirit – all preserved within one timeless image from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection.
