Capturing the Essence of a Coastal Community: Portloe, Cornwall in 1912". This print from July 1912 transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Portloe, nestled along the rugged coastline of Veryan, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view of a cove, with its slipway leading out to the vast expanse of the sea. A cluster of boats dotting the beach and slipway immediately catches our attention. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an industrious scene unfolding before our eyes. A group of men huddles together on the slipway, engaged in animated conversation as they discuss their fishing endeavors. Two young boys stand nearby; one is identified as Gilbert Trudgian - his youthful curiosity evident as he observes his surroundings. The photograph not only captures the essence of coastal life but also provides glimpses into a thriving community built around fishing and maritime activities. The presence of winches and industrial buildings further emphasizes their reliance on these trades for sustenance. As we immerse ourselves in this historical moment captured by photographer Herbert Hughes, we are reminded that communities like Portloe were intricately woven into Cornwall's rich tapestry. This image serves as a testament to their resilience and deep connection with both land and sea.
