EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the tranquil beauty of Trenance Gardens, Newquay, Cornwall circa 1919. This print captures a picturesque scene featuring a flock of geese gracefully gliding across the serene waters of a pond. In the background stands the magnificent Trenance Viaduct, an engineering marvel that replaced its predecessor made of timber in 1874. The viaduct, proudly spanning over the lush valley below, served as a vital railway connection during this era. It later underwent expansion from single to double track in 1939, further enhancing its significance and capacity for transportation. Trenance Gardens itself was a cherished public park and leisure destination for both locals and visitors alike. Nestled amidst verdant trees and vibrant plants, it provided respite from bustling city life while offering ample space for recreation and relaxation. The idyllic lake at its heart added to the enchanting ambiance, reflecting nature's splendor with every ripple on its surface. This remarkable photograph by Trounson transports us back to an era when leisurely strolls through beautifully landscaped gardens were treasured moments of escape. It encapsulates not only the natural allure but also highlights how human ingenuity seamlessly blended with nature's bounty.
