EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting figure of Mr Frederick James Attrill, a beloved local character of East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, at the ripe age of 86, standing proudly before his extraordinary creation: the Shell House. Built over the course of six years, the house on Cambridge Road was a labor of love and a testament to Attrill's unique artistic vision. A former marine painter, Attrill's passion for the sea and its treasures inspired him to decorate the exterior of his humble abode with an astonishing array of seashells. The Shell House, a true marvel of craftsmanship, is adorned with an estimated 20 million shells, meticulously arranged in intricate patterns and designs. The Shell House gained notoriety both locally and beyond, attracting visitors from far and wide. Among them was a very special guest – Queen Victoria, who was so captivated by Attrill's creation that she bestowed upon him a gift of a silver-gilt shell dish as a token of her admiration. The photograph, taken in 1925, immortalizes a moment in time when the Shell House stood as a symbol of creativity, perseverance, and the transformative power of art. Today, the Shell House remains a cherished piece of local history and a reminder of the extraordinary man who brought it to life.
