EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1904, we are transported back in time to witness the hustle and bustle of Penzance Station. Standing proudly amidst the chaos is a magnificent GWR Double Decker Milnes-Daimler omnibus, its presence commanding attention from all who pass by. The scene depicts a rather crowded double decker bus, teeming with passengers eager to embark on their journey between Marazion, Penzance, Newlyn, St Just, and Lands End. This reliable mode of transportation was an essential lifeline for the local community during the early 1900s. With its sturdy frame and elegant design, this road motor symbolizes progress and modernity in Edwardian Cornwall. The Milnes-Daimler brand has become synonymous with quality craftsmanship and reliability over the years. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the chatter of excited travelers as they eagerly board the bus or bid farewell to loved ones. It serves as a poignant reminder of how public transport has always been an integral part of our daily lives – connecting people across vast distances while fostering a sense of unity within communities. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not only a moment in history but also captures the spirit of adventure that permeated through Cornwall's streets over a century ago.
