EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Porthtowan, nestled along the stunning Cornish coastline. Believed to have been captured in the 1940s, this image offers a timeless glimpse into a bygone era. From an elevated vantage point on Eastcliff side, we are treated to a sweeping view that encompasses both the charming village and its breathtaking beach. The rugged beauty of Cornwall is on full display as waves crash against the sandy shore, creating a symphony of sound that echoes through this idyllic seaside retreat. Intriguingly, amidst this serene scene lies evidence of Cornwall's rich mining history. A solitary engine house stands tall with its chimney reaching towards the sky, reminding us of the region's once-thriving mining industry. This juxtaposition between nature's raw beauty and man-made structures adds depth and intrigue to an already captivating composition. As our eyes wander across this remarkable photograph, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time - breathing in fresh sea air while immersing ourselves in the tranquility that only coastal living can offer. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed over decades yet also highlights how some things remain timeless: Cornwall's enduring allure as one of Britain's most cherished coastal destinations.
