1940s 1946 Cornwall June Penzance Ramble Rambling St Ives Summer Hamlet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque hamlet of Cucurrian, nestled between St Ives and Penzance in Cornwall. It was captured in June 1946 as part of a publicity campaign by the Great Western Railway (GWR) to promote rambling along the stunning Cornish Riviera. The image beautifully showcases the idyllic charm of this quaint coastal village during the summer months. The narrow lanes wind through lush green fields dotted with charming cottages, their thatched roofs adding a touch of rustic elegance to the scene. The vibrant flowers blooming alongside picket fences add bursts of color, creating a delightful contrast against the serene backdrop. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to an era where life moved at a slower pace. This photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times when people would embark on leisurely rambles along these very paths, taking in the breathtaking scenery and enjoying moments of tranquility amidst nature's embrace. It is images like these that evoke nostalgia for days gone by and inspire us to explore our own surroundings with renewed appreciation. Thanks to GWR's efforts all those years ago, this hidden gem called Cucurrian continues to captivate visitors today who seek solace in its timeless beauty.
