Building Coast Coastal Construction Resort Seaside Town New Build
EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1920s-1930s, this print showcases a moment frozen in time on Esplanade Road, Pentire, Newquay, Cornwall. Standing proudly in front of an emerging masterpiece is a graceful lady, her presence adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The focus of attention is undoubtedly the magnificent new detached house being meticulously constructed behind her. With its commanding position overlooking Fistral Beach, it's no wonder that this architectural gem would soon be christened Trevena Guest House. Little did anyone know at that time that this humble abode would later evolve into the iconic Surfside Hotel - becoming synonymous with holiday bliss and Cornish coastal charm for generations to come. As waves crashed against the bay and seagulls soared above, this idyllic town nestled along the coast became an irresistible destination for those seeking respite from their daily routines. The photograph captures not only a momentary glimpse into history but also embodies the spirit of anticipation and progress as construction was underway on this new build. It serves as a reminder of how towns like Newquay have evolved over time while still retaining their unique character and allure. With its rich heritage steeped in seaside traditions and breathtaking natural beauty, Cornwall continues to captivate visitors from near and far. This remarkable image transports us back to an era when dreams were being built brick by brick along these rugged shores.
