Capturing the Serenity of Coombe, Kea - A Glimpse into Cornwall's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print takes us back in time to the idyllic village of Coombe, nestled along the tranquil creek in Kea, Cornwall. Dating back to before 1908, this early view showcases a picturesque scene where boats gracefully glide on the glistening waters of the river. The charm of Coombe is evident as we admire several houses lining the bank. Among them are two thatched cottages named Moor Close and Bunny Thatch, sadly lost to history between the tumultuous years of World War I and II. However, Holly Cottage stands proudly at the heart of this quaint village while Coombe Villa graces our gaze on the right. Renowned photographer Ernest Chegwidden skillfully captures this timeless moment with his lens. His expertise allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also transports us into an era when waterways were vital for transportation and trade. As we immerse ourselves in this image, it evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia for simpler times. The sailboats dotting the river remind us of how integral they were as means of transport and leisurely exploration during those bygone days. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum offers a glimpse into Cornish heritage without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations. It serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us to cherish these glimpses into our past that
