EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we catch a glimpse into the enigmatic world of Violet Gordon Charlesworth (1884-1952), a Welsh woman who became the talk of the town when she allegedly faked her own death in 1909. The image shows the quaint exterior of her home in St Asaph, Wales, where the intriguing tale unfolded over a century ago. Born in 1884, Violet was a charismatic and enigmatic figure who captivated the public imagination with her daring and mysterious antics. In November 1909, she was reported to have been thrown from her motor car into the sea from the cliffs at Penmaenbach near Llandudno. The tragic incident made headlines across the country, with many mourning the loss of the young woman. However, the story took an unexpected turn when Violet reappeared alive and well just a few days later. The revelation of her survival sparked a wave of shock and disbelief, and Violet was soon arrested and sentenced to hard labour for her deception. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Violet remained a figure of fascination for the public. Her home in St Asaph, with its picturesque surroundings, serves as a poignant reminder of the extraordinary events that unfolded within its walls over a century ago. The violets that adorn the garden add a touch of beauty and intrigue to the scene, reflecting the complex and enigmatic nature of the woman who once called this place her own. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the line between reality and fiction was blurred, and the world was captivated by the mysterious exploits of a woman named Violet Gordon Charlesworth.
