EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Clovelly's High Street in Devon, England, as it looked in 1926. The quaint, cobbled hillside street, nestled in the heart of this historic fishing village, has remained largely unchanged for centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. The steep, narrow street is lined with charming, whitewashed cottages, each adorned with colorful flowers and wrought-iron signs. Many of these structures date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, making them some of the oldest in the region. The quaint, red-roofed buildings seem to cling to the hillside, creating a picturesque scene that has drawn visitors from around the world. At the heart of the scene, the New Inn, with its distinctive blue sign, stands as a beacon of hospitality. The inn, which dates back to the 13th century, has long been a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. Its welcoming atmosphere and hearty meals have kept generations of visitors coming back for more. Clovelly's unique history is evident in every corner of this photograph. The village, which is still owned by the same family that has lived there for over 600 years, has managed to preserve its rich heritage while remaining a thriving community. Today, visitors can explore the village's many attractions, including its quaint shops, art galleries, and the Clovelly Court Gardens. This photograph, taken in 1926, offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the daily life of the villagers, as they went about their business on the steep, cobbled streets of Clovelly, high above the North Devon coast.
