Preserving History - Truro City Police, Guardians of Cornwall's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in the history of Truro, Cornwall. Taken around 1890, it showcases a group of dedicated men who served as the Truro City Police force during this era. Standing proudly outside against a backdrop of majestic trees, these courageous individuals don their distinct cornish uniforms and helmets. Truro itself had recently attained city status in 1877, leading to the renaming of its police force from Truro Borough Police to Truro City Police. This transition marked an important milestone for law enforcement within the region and symbolized growth and progress.
