EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the year 1912, outside The King of Prussia Inn in Fowey, Cornwall. A moment frozen in history reveals a gathering of individuals eagerly listening to John Mann, a renowned national union activist. As he stands on the steps of this charming Cornish pub, his impassioned words resonate with the crowd that has gathered around him. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and determination as men donning flat caps and hats stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Their presence signifies unity and solidarity amidst challenging times. The surrounding buildings exude a sense of rustic charm, their timeless architecture serving as silent witnesses to this historic event. A window box overflowing with vibrant blooms adds a touch of color against the backdrop of stone walls. It serves as a reminder that even during moments steeped in struggle and strife, beauty can still be found if one takes notice. Little did those present know that just over a year later, their community would face further challenges during the major clay workers strike of 1913. This photograph captures not only an isolated moment but also hints at the larger narrative unfolding within Cornwall's industrial landscape. Preserved by photographer Arthur William Jordan's lens, this image offers us an invaluable glimpse into our past—a testament to resilience and collective action that continues to shape our understanding today.
