The King of Prussia Inn - A Historic Gem in Fowey, Cornwall

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print capturing the essence of The King of Prussia Inn, nestled in the picturesque town of Fowey, Cornwall. This image showcases the inn after its remarkable rebuilding in 1886, highlighting the addition of a majestic third floor that truly sets it apart. Legend has it that this iconic establishment derived its name from John Carter, an infamous smuggler and privateer known as "The King of Prussia Cove" who is believed to have resided here during the 1780s. Steeped in history and intrigue, The King of Prussia Inn stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see not only the inn itself but also glimpses into daily life at the turn of the century. To the left stands Fowey Town Hall, a symbol of civic pride and governance. In the background looms St Fimbarrus Parish Church, offering solace and spiritual guidance amidst bustling streets. Every detail tells a story - from pedestrians strolling along cobblestone pavements to a man pausing by a lamp post. Even seemingly mundane elements like bollards add character to this charming scene. Photographed by A. W. N. , this exquisite print allows us to marvel at architectural beauty while immersing ourselves in an era long gone. Let your imagination wander as you explore every nook and cranny captured
