EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming coastal town of Fowey, Cornwall in 1904 with this print of 'Ye Old Lugger'. The image captures a picturesque scene outside the historic pub, showcasing its rich history and local charm. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly The Old Lugger itself, proudly displaying a hanging sign that boldly declares its establishment in 1633 under the proprietorship of Robert Varco. This timeless establishment has stood the test of time, welcoming locals and travelers alike for centuries. Adjacent to the pub stands an impressive Truro, St Austell and Fowey coach, hinting at a bustling era when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transportation. It serves as a reminder that Ye Old Lugger was not only a place for refreshment but also an important stop along various routes. Prominently displayed on another sign are Burton Ales - always available on draught - making Ye Old Lugger synonymous with quality beverages. Additionally, it proudly proclaims itself as the sole agent for Anglo-Bavarian ales and stout, offering families small casks and bottles to enjoy at home. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryear captured by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, we can't help but admire the quaint surroundings. Cobbled streets wind their way past traditional buildings adorned with plant pots while luggage baskets rest against walls. A ladder leans casually nearby - perhaps used earlier for maintenance or repairs. This remarkable print from
