EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Cliff Road, formerly known as Station Road, in Newquay, Cornwall. The image captures a picturesque view from Tolcarne Point, showcasing the charming Victorian architecture that adorned this seaside town during its heyday as a popular holiday resort. The large houses and terraces perched atop the cliff exude an air of elegance and grandeur. Among them stands the magnificent Hotel Victoria, which was built in 1897 and still proudly dominates the right side of the frame. Its imposing presence hints at a time when Newquay attracted visitors seeking both relaxation and sophistication. In the foreground, we are treated to a glimpse of nature's raw beauty. The rocky cliff face serves as a dramatic backdrop while steps leading down to Great Western Beach beckon adventurous souls to explore its sandy shores. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and untamed coastal scenery epitomizes Cornwall's unique charm. Although we cannot credit this photograph to any specific photographer, it is evident that they possessed great skill in capturing such an enchanting scene with precision and artistry. This print transports us back to an era when seaside towns like Newquay flourished under Victorian influence. It invites us to imagine strolling along Cliff Road on a sunny afternoon or indulging in leisurely activities by the sea. A true testament to Cornwall's rich history and timeless allure!
