EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the idyllic summer of 1946 with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. Captured as part of a publicity campaign promoting rambling along the stunning Cornish Riviera, this image showcases Trink Hill's Twelve O'Clock Rock in all its natural splendor. As sunlight bathes the landscape, inviting warmth and adventure fill the air. The rugged beauty of Trink Hill unfolds before our eyes, beckoning us to explore its untamed trails. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an era when rail travel was at its peak. Intriguingly, nestled amidst rolling hills and verdant fields lies a distant silhouette - none other than St Michaels Mount. Its majestic presence adds an ethereal touch to this already enchanting scene. Transported back to that bygone era, we can almost hear laughter and chatter echoing through these ancient rocks as intrepid travelers embarked on their rambling adventures. The GWR network served as their gateway to discovery and exploration along Cornwall's breathtaking coastline. This print serves as a testament to both nature's enduring allure and humanity's timeless desire for connection with it. It invites us to embrace nostalgia while igniting our own sense of wanderlust – encouraging us to embark on our own modern-day ramble through history-rich landscapes like those found along
