EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Tolverne, a picturesque village nestled along the River Fal in Philleigh, Cornwall. The focal point of this image is the enchanting Tolverne Ferry Boat House, which served as a vital link between Kea and Higher Trelease Farm. Standing proudly by its door is a bell, patiently waiting to summon the ferryman and transport eager passengers across the tranquil waters. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are greeted by several figures who have left an indelible mark on this scene. Their presence adds life and character to the photograph – individuals going about their daily routines or perhaps embarking on exciting adventures downstream. The Tolverne Ferry was once an integral part of local transportation until it ceased operations around 1910. This frozen moment captures not only a physical structure but also preserves memories of countless journeys taken and stories shared aboard these boats. Photographer Arthur Philp has skillfully captured both the beauty of nature that surrounds Tolverne and the human activity that thrived within its embrace. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme, where rivers were highways connecting communities, and where moments like these were cherished for generations to come. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage while inviting us all to embark on our own journey through time - one that connects past with present and reminds us of our collective roots.
