The general view over the harbour towards the Island showcases a serene and idyllic scene that is both timeless and enchanting. Before the construction of Wharf Road, this image captures a moment before significant changes took place. The wooden pier remnants on the right side of the picture serve as a reminder of how things used to be. It's fascinating to witness this snapshot in history, where we can observe not only the natural beauty but also glimpse into daily life during that era. The composition is filled with elements that define Cornwall's charm – from its rugged coastline and pristine beaches to quaint buildings nestled along the shore.
