Polzeath beach from the south west, St Minver, Cornwall. Around 1930
Although the photograph is titled " Across the Beach to Polzeath", it is in fact looking at Pentireglaze, now known as New Polzeath. The name change to New Polzeath was probably to reflect the housing development that has taken place over this area in the decades since this photograph was taken. Polzeath is out of picture, at the top of the beach, on the right. Photographer: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Polzeath beach, located in St Minver, Cornwall. Dating back to around 1930, this image titled "Across the Beach to Polzeath" actually captures a stunning view of Pentireglaze, now known as New Polzeath. The name change is believed to reflect the significant housing development that has transformed this area over the decades since this photograph was taken. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent coastline stretching out before us. The sandy beach glistens under the warm sunlight while gentle waves caress its shores. Nestled amidst nature's beauty are charming houses perched on cliffs overlooking the sea. The rugged rocks scattered along the coast add an element of rawness and character to this idyllic setting. It's easy to imagine families and friends enjoying leisurely walks along these very shores or exploring hidden coves nestled between these ancient formations. While Polzeath itself lies just beyond our sight at the top right corner of the beach, its presence can be felt through its timeless charm and allure. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of how coastal landscapes evolve with time but continue to captivate generations with their natural splendor. Photographed by an unknown artist, this snapshot from yesteryears transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage and breathtaking coastal scenery.
