EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1880s showcases the Bark House, a significant structure in St Ives, Cornwall. Nestled along Burrow Road, this historic building served as a vital hub for treating rope and nets used by local fishermen. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Edward Ashton, who skillfully captured the essence of Victorian-era life in Cornwall. Intriguingly, the photograph not only features hardworking fishermen but also a group of lively boys. Their presence adds an element of youthful energy to the scene, contrasting with the weathered faces and experienced hands of their older counterparts. Each individual dons traditional Cornish attire and proudly wears hats that were fashionable during that period. The Bark House itself stands as a testament to St Ives' maritime heritage and its reliance on fishing as a way of life. Its rustic charm is evident through its weathered wooden exterior and practical layout designed specifically for treating ropes and nets crucial to seafaring activities. As we gaze upon this evocative image preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how daily life unfolded within this bustling coastal community over 140 years ago. It serves as both a visual reminder of our rich cultural history and an homage to those who dedicated their lives to sustaining St Ives' thriving fishing industry.
