EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1900, we are transported back in time to the bustling interior of The Fly pilchard cellar in Newquay, Cornwall. Photographer Ennor has masterfully captured a moment that encapsulates the essence of the fishing industry during this era. The scene is alive with activity as a group of weathered fishermen gather amidst stacks of cornish lobster pots, coils of rope, and sturdy baskets. Their faces etched with determination and camaraderie, they proudly display their hard-earned catch. The air is filled with an unmistakable aroma of saltwater and fish—a testament to their tireless efforts at sea. Amongst the chaos, one cannot help but notice the presence of cork floats bobbing gently on the water's surface within wooden barrels. These humble yet vital tools serve as markers for nets cast adrift in anticipation of future hauls. Amidst it all stands a loyal companion—a faithful dog who seems just as much at home in this maritime setting as its human counterparts. Its watchful eyes mirror those of its owners; ever vigilant and ready to assist whenever needed. This evocative image serves not only as a window into history but also as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by these seafaring men. It captures both their livelihoods and their unwavering connection to Cornwall's rich coastal heritage—an enduring legacy that continues to shape communities today.
