EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Coombe Creek, Kea, Cornwall around 1910. The focal point of the image is John Stevens Scoble, diligently sawing wood on the foreshore of the creek. Behind him stands his quaint house, Beach Cottage, where he carries out his work with a view that many would envy. The scene is filled with intriguing details that showcase life along this picturesque river. Fishing nets can be seen drying on poles nearby, indicating a thriving fishing community in this coastal region. On the opposite shore, a cluster of houses and cottages dot the landscape, creating a charming backdrop against which small boats rest upon the shore and float gently in the river. Sadly, two of these thatched cottages named Moor Close and Bunny Thatch were later demolished between the First and Second World Wars. However, their presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of their once-standing beauty. To the right of these cottages stands Holly Cottage while Coombe Villa completes the composition on the far right side. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan who has skillfully captured an Edwardian era moment frozen in time. As we gaze at this historical treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported to an idyllic past where hard work met natural beauty along Coombe Creek's tranquil shores.
