EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the vibrant coastal town of St Ives in the 1920s. The image showcases a bustling scene on the iconic West Pier, where hardworking fishermen are seen tending to their crab pots and lines. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent at sea, braving the unpredictable Cornish waters in search of a bountiful catch. Intriguingly, amidst this maritime tableau stands an early motor vehicle, providing a fascinating glimpse into transportation history. With its distinctive registration plate CV6420, we can deduce that it hails from Truro and was manufactured between 1903 and 1931. This juxtaposition of traditional fishing practices with emerging modernity encapsulates the evolving times during which this photograph was taken.
