EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Arwenack House, located in Grove Place, Falmouth, Cornwall. Taken by Margaret Tomlinson in 1943, this particular shot showcases the south wing of the house which was then serving as a sailors hostel. The image is taken from a southeast angle, offering a unique perspective on this historic building. Arwenack House has a rich history that dates back centuries. Originally built as a manor house, it later became known as Arwenack Manor after being converted into a private residence. However, during the time of this photograph's capture, it served an important role as accommodation for sailors. The architectural details are strikingly evident in this image. The elegant archway stands tall and proud against the backdrop of lush greenery surrounding the property. It serves as both an entrance to the hostel and an impressive feature of Arwenack House itself. Margaret Tomlinson's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty of this structure but also its historical significance within Falmouth's maritime heritage. This print offers viewers a glimpse into life during World War II when Arwenack House provided shelter for those who served at sea. Through Tomlinson's lens, we can travel back in time and immerse ourselves in the stories held within these walls - tales of sailors seeking respite amidst turbulent times while gazing upon one of Cornwall's most iconic landmarks.
