EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of preparation for a journey in the quaint seaside town of Perranporth, Cornwall, in 1931. A group of men and women are seen diligently loading a car with an assortment of luggage, including large suitcases, wicker baskets, and fishing floats. The car, adorned with a "For Hire" sign, sits proudly on the road, ready to transport its passengers to their next destination. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling street, with a cafe and telegraph poles visible in the distance. The atmosphere is one of anticipation and excitement, as the travelers prepare to embark on their adventure. The women, dressed in elegant 1930s attire, carefully arrange their belongings in the car, while the men lift and place the heavier items. The use of wicker baskets and fishing floats suggests that the travelers may be heading to the coast for a holiday, perhaps to enjoy the beautiful beaches and fishing opportunities that Cornwall is famous for. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when travel was an adventure, and the journey was just as important as the destination. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of Perranporth and Cornwall in the 1930s, and a testament to the enduring charm of this beautiful coastal town.
