The Sloop Inn, St Ives, Cornwall. Before 1922
General view of the Sloop Inn, St Ives before the building of Wharf Road in 1922. The landlord was Samuel Rogers. There is a lady with 3 small children standing in front of the building and to the side, in a street, is a gentleman and horse and carriage. The inn is located on the wharf and is one of the oldest inns in Cornwall. The public house is dated to " circa 1312" although the present building was built in the 17th or 18th century. Made of granite rubble, with a slate roof, the Sloop Inn was the favourite haunt of Victorian artists including Louis Grier and many of his paintings hung there in earlier years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming coastal town of St Ives, Cornwall, before the year 1922. The focal point is none other than the historic Sloop Inn, a beloved establishment that has stood proudly on the wharf for centuries. With its granite rubble walls and slate roof, this inn exudes an air of timeless beauty. In front of the inn stands a lady accompanied by three small children, their presence adding a touch of warmth to the scene. To the side, we catch sight of a gentleman with his horse and carriage gracefully navigating through the street. It's fascinating how even in those days gone by, transportation played an integral role in daily life. The Sloop Inn holds great significance as one of Cornwall's oldest pubs, dating all the way back to "circa 1312". Although this particular building was constructed during either the 17th or 18th century, it has undoubtedly witnessed countless stories unfold within its walls. Notably renowned among Victorian artists such as Louis Grier, who frequented this establishment regularly; many of his masterpieces adorned its interior throughout earlier years. This magical lantern slide captures not only a moment frozen in time but also echoes whispers from an era when artistry thrived within these very streets. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by an unknown photographer, we can't help but be transported into another world - one where history intertwines with everyday life and where The Sloop Inn remains an enduring symbol of St
