EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse of Polperro's Inner Harbour: A Cornish Coastal Haven Circa 1900" Step back in time with this evocative image of Polperro's Inner Harbour, captured in the early 1900s. This black-and-white photograph, part of The John Barrett Collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of this charming Cornish fishing village. Nestled along the rugged Cornish coast, Polperro has long been a favorite destination for visitors seeking the beauty and tranquility of the British seaside. In this image, we see the heart of the village, with its picturesque harbour teeming with activity. The boats moored in the harbour, their sails furled, bear testament to the village's rich fishing heritage. The hill in the background, dotted with quaint cottages, adds to the idyllic scene. The narrow streets and steep lanes that wind their way up the hill, leading to the village center, are a testament to the area's history and character. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of great change and progress in Britain. Yet, in Polperro, the old ways of life continued, with fishing remaining the primary source of income for the community. The villagers' close relationship with the sea is evident in the image, as they go about their daily tasks, oblivious to the passing of time. This photograph is not only a beautiful record of a bygone era but also a reminder of the enduring charm and allure of Polperro and the Cornish coast. It invites us to imagine a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace, and the beauty of nature was the true draw for visitors.
