Polperro, Cornwall - A Glimpse into the Fishing Village's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to late 19th or early 20th century Polperro, a picturesque fishing village nestled along the rugged coast of Cornwall, England. Captured by the talented artists from Church Army Lantern Department, this lantern slide showcases a bustling scene in the village's charming harbour. The image transports us to a time when fishing boats dominated these waters, their colorful sails billowing in the sea breeze. The hillside backdrop adds an enchanting touch to this coastal landscape as quaint cottages dotting the shoreline complete the idyllic scenery. Intriguingly, amidst all this natural beauty and maritime activity, we catch sight of people going about their daily lives. A group of men and boys can be seen tending to their boats or engaging in lively conversations onshore. Their presence highlights not only their integral role in sustaining Polperro's fishing industry but also gives us a glimpse into the community spirit that thrived within these close-knit villages. As high tide engulfs parts of the harbour and water transport becomes even more crucial for trade and livelihoods, we are reminded of how geography shaped life in this region. This print serves as both a historical document and an ode to Polperro's enduring charm—a testament to its rich heritage as a quintessential British fishing village.
