EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment frozen in time, this vintage print transports us back to the bustling fishing industry of Newquay, Cornwall around 1910. The image showcases two iconic fish cellars - Good Intent and Fly - standing proudly on the foreshore. These historic structures were at the heart of a thriving community that relied heavily on the bounties of the Atlantic Ocean. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the majestic Atlantic Hotel, which had been newly erected in 1892. Its grandeur serves as a testament to Newquay's growing popularity as a seaside destination during that era. The photograph offers an intriguing perspective with two young women positioned prominently in the foreground. Their presence adds depth and humanity to this scene, leaving us wondering about their connection to this vibrant coastal town. Taken by photographer Ennor, whose name has become synonymous with capturing Cornwall's rich heritage through his lens, this remarkable print is more than just an archival document; it is an invitation for us to step into history and experience life as it once was along these shores. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, let our imaginations wander amidst fishermen hauling their daily catch ashore while seagulls swoop overhead. It reminds us of Newquay's enduring spirit and its deep-rooted ties to both land and sea.
