This print from July 1912 showcases the picturesque village of Porthoustock, nestled in the serene coastal landscape of St Keverne, Cornwall. The image captures a general view of the east side of Porthoustock, with its charming cornish cottages dotting the countryside. In the background stands an imposing stone quarry quay, serving as a reminder of the village's historical ties to fishing and industry. Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully frames this scene from inland, offering a unique perspective that highlights both the beauty and tranquility of this rural gem.
