EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing a row of charming thatched cottages nestled in the picturesque village of Mellingey, Cubert, Cornwall. The timeless beauty of these traditional Cornish dwellings is perfectly captured as they stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery. Intriguingly, a group of individuals has gathered outside one cottage, adding life and character to the scene. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, their presence evokes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about their lives during this bygone era. Two adorable dogs accompany them, further enhancing the warm and inviting atmosphere. A fascinating detail caught my eye on closer inspection: a sign adorning the wall to the left proudly declares "Offices New Wheal Leisure Mining Company". This small but significant glimpse into local history hints at an industry that once thrived within this idyllic community. Photographed by Samuel John Govier, this image transports us back to simpler times when thatch was still widely used for roofing. Its rustic charm remains intact even today as it continues to be cherished by residents and visitors alike
