EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the picturesque St Ives Harbour, Cornwall, August 1928. This print captures the essence of a bygone era, courtesy of GWR's publicity view. As the warm summer sun bathes the scene in golden hues, we are transported to a simpler time where tranquility and maritime charm reign supreme. The focal point is undoubtedly the majestic lighthouse perched at the end of the sturdy harbour wall. Its stoic presence stands as a guiding beacon for both seasoned sailors and curious onlookers alike. The lighthouse's weathered exterior tells tales of countless storms braved and lives saved. Dotting the tranquil waters are an array of small boats that seem frozen in time; their vibrant colors adding splashes of life against a backdrop of azure blue seas. Each vessel holds its own story - perhaps they were once used for fishing expeditions or leisurely sails along these idyllic shores. This snapshot from 1928 encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to GWR's commitment to showcasing Britain's hidden gems. It invites us to step into this enchanting world where locals and visitors would have marveled at St Ives' natural beauty while dreaming about future adventures on land or sea. As we gaze upon this vintage treasure, let it transport us back nearly a century ago when life moved at a slower pace, allowing one to truly appreciate nature's wonders.
