EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Tranquil Village of Poughill, Bude, Cornwall, England (1910s) 2. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, England, lies the picturesque village of Poughill, near the historic town of Bude. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a rare glimpse into the village's rich history and the daily life of its inhabitants during that era. 3. The image reveals a quaint, idyllic scene, with traditional thatched-roof cottages lining the narrow, cobblestone streets. The village church, St. Michael's, stands proudly in the background, its bell tower reaching towards the sky. The lush, green landscape surrounding the village is dotted with trees and farmland, creating a serene and pastoral atmosphere. 4. The villagers, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen going about their daily routines. Children play in the streets, while adults engage in conversation or tend to their gardens. The local market, held in the village square, bustles with activity as farmers sell their fresh produce and craftsmen display their wares. 5. Poughill, located near the historic fishing village of Flexbury, has a long and fascinating history. The area was once a thriving center for tin mining and fishing, with the village's strategic location on the River Neet providing easy access to the sea. The village's name, Poughill, is believed to derive from the Cornish words "pys godhyl," meaning "parish church on the hill." 6. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and communities were tightly knit. It invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of rural life and the enduring charm of traditional English villages. 7. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Poughill, Bude, and the surrounding area. This photograph is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring allure of the past.
