Alec Walker left Mirfield, Yorkshire, in 1918 to set up a small experimental textile factory in Newlyn where wood-block printed silk fabrics and garments were designed and manufactured. By 1925 the Crysede venture had become a successful craft industry, employing many local people, which required larger premises. In 1926 the works moved to the former Western Pilchard cellar at the base of The Island in St Ives, where this photograph was taken. Photographer: Unknown

The date is either March 23rd, 1931 or March 23rd, 1936 - a moment frozen forever by an unknown photographer. Crysede Island Works was the brainchild of Alec Walker, who left Mirfield, Yorkshire in 1918 to establish a small experimental textile factory in Newlyn. Specializing in wood-block printed silk fabrics and garments, the venture quickly gained traction and by 1925 had become a thriving craft industry employing numerous local individuals. The success of Crysede necessitated larger premises, leading to its relocation to the former Western Pilchard cellar at the base of The Island in St Ives in 1926. It is within these walls that this intriguing image was captured. In the cutting room depicted here, we witness skilled artisans meticulously crafting exquisite textiles. Their nimble hands deftly maneuver scissors through vibrant patterns while their focused expressions reveal their dedication to their craft. Every detail speaks volumes about the meticulousness required for such intricate work. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Crysede's flourishing presence but also to the significance of traditional craftsmanship within Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
