EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a mesmerizing view of Bude, Cornwall from Summerleaze. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards The Strand and the canal that winds its way through the heart of this picturesque town. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures the essence of Cornish architecture with an array of charming buildings dotting the landscape. Each structure tells a story - their stone walls whispering tales of generations past. From quaint cottages to grander establishments, they stand proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and azure skies. Intriguingly, amidst this scenic panorama stands a man who seems lost in thought or perhaps deeply engrossed in conversation with someone out of frame. His presence adds a touch of humanity to an otherwise idyllic scene. A sturdy bridge spans over the tranquil canal below, connecting both sides like a lifeline for residents and visitors alike. Its weathered wooden planks bear witness to countless footsteps throughout history. Completing this nostalgic tableau is a white picket fence that gracefully lines the path along The Strand. It serves as both decoration and protection while guiding pedestrians on their journey through town. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonderment at how much has changed since those early days in Bude. It reminds us to cherish our heritage and appreciate how far we have come while preserving what makes Cornwall
