EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century and witness the rustic charm of Cornish farming heritage. This photograph, taken around 1900, captures three men hard at work building a traditional Cornish Mow (rick) in a picturesque field overlooking the Camel estuary. The scene is set against the stunning backdrop of the Camel River, with the railway line to Padstow visible off in the distance.
The three laborers are fully immersed in their task, their faces weathered from years of working outdoors. One man stands atop a pile of hay, carefully constructing the structure's framework, while his companions tend to nearby bundles of grain. A loyal canine companion lies lazily nearby, enjoying a well-deserved break from its duties.
This photograph not only showcases the skill and industry of these rural workers but also highlights the importance of harvesting and preserving crops during this era. The construction of ricks was a crucial part of agricultural life in Cornwall, providing storage for grains during times when fresh supplies were scarce.
Taken by an unknown photographer, this image has been preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum and offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when farming practices were simpler yet no less vital to daily life.
