A distant view of the four wooden Marconi wireless towers at Poldhu, Mullion, Cornwall from Mullion Cove along the cliff. 1908
A distant view, taken from Mullion Cove, of the four wooden 200ft Marconi towers, signal station and Poldhu Hotel at Poldhu. This four mast arrangement was built by early 1902. The earlier two-masted tower installation which was used by Guglielmo Marconi to transmit the first transatlantic radio message on 12th December 1901, was damaged by storms. Poldhu was taken over by the Royal Navy after the First World War and continued to operate as a research station until 1933, after which the site was cleared and donated to the National Trust. A granite monument erected in 1937 by the Marconi Company now stands on the site. Mullion Cove hotel can be seen perched on the cliffs to the the right. Photographer: Herbert Hughes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a distant view of the historic Marconi wireless towers at Poldhu, Mullion in Cornwall. Taken in 1908 from Mullion Cove along the cliff, this image showcases the four magnificent wooden 200ft towers that formed an iconic signal station. These towers were part of a four mast arrangement built by early 1902 after the original two-masted tower installation was damaged by storms. Poldhu played a significant role in communication history as it was here that Guglielmo Marconi transmitted the first transatlantic radio message on December 12th, 1901. After World War I, Poldhu came under Royal Navy control and continued to operate as a research station until 1933 when it was cleared and donated to the National Trust. The photograph also reveals the picturesque surroundings of Mullion Cove with its rugged cliffs and rocky shoreline. In addition to showcasing these remarkable engineering feats, Herbert Hughes' lens captures Mullion Cove Hotel perched gracefully on the cliffs to the right. Today, visitors can witness this important piece of pioneering technology through a granite monument erected by the Marconi Company in 1937 which now stands proudly on this historic site. This stunning image serves as a reminder of Cornwall's coastal beauty intertwined with its rich communication heritage.
