EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of "The Promenade, Penzance, Cornwall" taken in the early 1900s. As you gaze upon the image, you are transported to a bygone era where life unfolded at a slower pace. The scene captures the essence of a bustling coastal town as pedestrians meander along the cornish road and pavement. In the foreground stands The Mounts Bay Hotel, an iconic landmark that has witnessed countless stories unfold over the years. Its grandeur is matched only by its picturesque surroundings. Behind it lies The Lizard Serpentine Works and Drews Serpentine Works, two industrial establishments that played a significant role in shaping Penzance's history. Men and women can be seen strolling leisurely along the promenade, their attire reflecting fashion trends of the time. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot of daily life during this period. Beyond them stretches out an endless expanse of sea, its waves crashing against rocky shores. The railings lining the promenade provide both safety and aesthetic appeal as they guide visitors towards breathtaking views. This remarkable photograph was captured by an unknown photographer whose work now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. It serves as a testament to their skill in immortalizing moments from our past for future generations to cherish. As you admire this piece of history frozen in time, allow yourself to be transported back to an era when simplicity reigned supreme and appreciate how far we have come since then.
