The four wooden Marconi wireless towers at Poldhu, Mullion, Cornwall. Before 1912
A view of the four wooden 200ft Marconi towers at Poldhu, built by early 1902, showing the guide wires and signal station buildings. View from across the beach at Poldhu. 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. A man is lying on the grass in the foreground. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic significance of the four wooden Marconi wireless towers at Poldhu, Mullion, Cornwall. Standing tall and proud before 1912, these towering structures were a testament to the pioneering spirit of communication. The image showcases the intricate guide wires that supported these impressive towers, as well as the signal station buildings nestled nearby. From across the beach at Poldhu, one can truly appreciate their grandeur against the backdrop of a serene coastline. These particular towers replaced an earlier two-masted installation that had been damaged by storms but played a crucial role in transmitting Guglielmo Marconi's groundbreaking transatlantic radio message on December 12th, 1901. After World War I, Poldhu was taken over by the Royal Navy and continued its operations as a research station until 1933. Eventually cleared and donated to the National Trust, this site now holds great historical importance. Intriguingly, amidst this scene frozen in time is a man lying peacefully on the grass in the foreground. His presence adds depth to this snapshot of history and invites us to ponder upon those who walked these grounds long ago. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan with remarkable skill and precision, this print serves as both an homage to technological advancement and a reminder of Cornwall's stunning coastal beauty.
