EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1895 showcases the bustling Foundry and Harbour of Hayle, Cornwall. With a sweeping view over the harbor from an elevated vantage point, this image offers a glimpse into the industrial heart of this coastal town during its heyday. On the left side of the photograph stands St Elwyns Church, a beacon of tranquility amidst the surrounding activity. To the right, one's eyes are drawn to the sprawling Harveys Foundry complex. Its chimneys tower above everything else in sight, emitting plumes of smoke that hint at ceaseless industry and innovation. The foundry's buildings stretch out towards the sea, their purposeful design reflecting both functionality and architectural prowess. The harbor itself is teeming with life as ships come and go, carrying goods to distant shores or returning with valuable cargo for local consumption. The viaduct spanning across part of the harbor adds another layer of intrigue to this already picturesque scene. Photographer John Charles Burrow has skillfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also an entire era defined by progress and ambition. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its pivotal role in shaping Britain's industrial landscape.
