EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque village of St Erth Praze, captured beautifully in this vintage print from June 1946. Nestled near the charming coastal town of St Ives in Cornwall, this idyllic hamlet is showcased here as part of a GWR publicity campaign promoting rambling along the Cornish Riviera. As summer blooms and nature flourishes, the image invites us to explore the serene countryside surrounding St Erth Praze. The quaint cottages with thatched roofs exude timeless charm, while lush green fields stretch out into the distance. A sense of tranquility fills the air as we imagine leisurely walks through winding paths and hidden trails. In an era when travel was simpler and slower-paced, this photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how railways played an integral role in connecting people with nature's beauty. The GWR network provided access to stunning landscapes like those found along Cornwall's coastline, encouraging visitors to embark on unforgettable rambles amidst breathtaking scenery. Transport yourself back to 1946 and immerse yourself in this snapshot of St Erth Praze – a testament to both its timeless allure and the enduring appeal of exploring our natural surroundings.
