EDITORS COMMENTS
Steeped in history and charm, this photograph print of Fowey harbour in 1914 transports us back to a bygone era. Taken from the bustling Town Quay, the view stretches across the tranquil waters to Bodinnick, with the SS Alexy moored serenely below. The picturesque boats bob gently on the tide, their wooden hulls weathered to a soft grey that blends seamlessly with the Cornish stone buildings lining the quay.
The flagpole stands tall at attention, its pennant fluttering lazily in the breeze as it surveys its domain over Fowey's ancient streets and alleys. The rowing boats are tied up neatly alongside, their oars laid out like skeletal fingers reaching for the shore.
This evocative image is a testament to Herbert Hughes' skill as a photographer, capturing not only the physical beauty of Fowey but also its sense of community and tradition. It's easy to imagine fishermen unloading their daily catch on these very quayside steps, or children playing among the boats while their parents tend to nets and lines.
As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we're reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its enduring appeal as a haven for sailors and artists alike.
