EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of General View in New Quay, Ceredigion, Wales, as it looked in 1925. The quay, located near the historic village of Llanarth, is a popular tourist destination known for its natural harbor and stunning coastal views. In this image, we see a bustling harbor filled with fishing boats and nets drying in the sun. The quay is lined with small cottages and buildings, some with thatched roofs, reflecting the rich maritime history of the area. The presence of a horse and cart on the quay suggests that the photograph was taken before the widespread use of motor vehicles. New Quay has a long and fascinating history. It was once a major port for the export of coal and slate from inland mines. Later, it became a hub for the pilchard fishing industry, which flourished in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The town's fortunes changed in the mid-20th century when the pilchard stocks declined, and many fishermen turned to other industries. Despite these changes, New Quay has retained its charm and character. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the rich cultural heritage, and the vibrant local community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the rhythms of the sea shaped the daily lives of the people who lived and worked in this beautiful corner of Wales.
