EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Grampound, nestled in the heart of Cornwall. The focal point of this enchanting image is undoubtedly the magnificent Clock Tower, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of charming stone buildings. As we gaze up Fore Street, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details adorning the clock tower, its hands frozen in time. To the left, we catch sight of both the Town Hall and Market Cross, adding an air of historic significance to this quaint scene. The street itself comes alive with activity as several individuals strike poses for photographer Samuel John Govier. Their presence injects a sense of liveliness into this otherwise peaceful setting. One can only imagine what stories these people hold within their hearts - perhaps they were locals going about their daily routines or visitors captivated by Grampound's timeless charm. This remarkable print not only captures a moment frozen in history but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage. It transports us back to an era where life moved at a slower pace and community spirit thrived on every corner. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph invites viewers to step into another world - one where simplicity reigns supreme and beauty lies within every carefully preserved detail.
