EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Smugglers Lane in Teignmouth, Devon, circa 1924. A masterpiece of GWR publicity, it beautifully captures the essence of this historic lane that winds its way from Holcombe on the outskirts of Teignmouth to meet the vast expanse of the sea. As we delve into its intriguing past, we discover that Smugglers Lane earned its name for a reason. In centuries gone by, this very path was a haven for daring smugglers who sought refuge within its hidden nooks and crannies during the 18th and 19th centuries. The allure of secrecy and adventure must have danced in their eyes as they navigated through these ancient lanes under moonlit skies. The railway line crossing at the seafront adds an extra layer of charm to this already picturesque scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernity, echoes of history still linger in our present-day lives. Transported back to the vibrant era of the 1920s, one can almost feel a sense of nostalgia seeping through every inch of this image. The fashionably dressed passersby strolling along Smugglers Lane provide glimpses into daily life during those times - an era filled with hope and resilience after emerging from World War I. This mesmerizing snapshot invites us to step into another world; a world where tales unfold around every corner and whispers from long-forgotten smugglers continue to echo through time.
