EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time, this print captures the essence of Shirley Cottage, nestled on Fore Street in the picturesque town of Newquay, Cornwall. Believed to have been taken in the early 1900s by photographer Ennor, this image offers a glimpse into the architectural charm and character that defined Cornish houses during that era. Standing proudly along the road, Shirley Cottage exudes an undeniable allure with its traditional design and intricate detailing. Its whitewashed exterior harmoniously blends with the surrounding natural beauty, showcasing a perfect marriage between man-made structure and serene coastal landscape. The photograph invites us to imagine life within these walls; perhaps families gathered around crackling fireplaces or residents enjoying peaceful moments on their quaint front porch. The history embedded within each brick tells stories of generations past who called this place home. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum, it serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us of how architecture can shape communities. It is a reminder of simpler times when towns like Newquay were filled with such charming dwellings - each one unique yet contributing to the collective tapestry that makes up our cultural identity. This print allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also evokes nostalgia for an era long gone – an invitation to explore our roots and celebrate the enduring spirit of Cornwall.
