Road Bridge at Polzeath, St Minver, Cornwall. Late 1930s
The road bridge in the photograph, taken from the bank of the stream looking across the road to the top of the beach and over to Pentireglaze, was probably constructed in the late 1930s. Some probable evidence of its construction can be seen in the right centre ground of image TRURI:MIVph.10 where a workmans hut, cement mixer and temporary foot bridge are visible in the area of the stream where the bridge was constructed. Pentireglaze is now known as New Polzeath, probably to reflect the housing development that has taken place over this area in the de. Photographer: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Road Bridge at Polzeath, St Minver, Cornwall in the late 1930s. The bridge, a remarkable feat of engineering for its time, is showcased from an idyllic perspective on the bank of a serene stream. Looking across the road towards the top of the beach and over to Pentireglaze (now known as New Polzeath), this image transports us back to an era when simplicity reigned supreme. The construction process comes to life within this photograph as we spot evidence of its creation in the right centre ground. A workman's hut stands proudly alongside a cement mixer, while a temporary footbridge spans across the area where this magnificent structure was born. These subtle details provide valuable insight into both history and progress. Cornwall's coastal charm radiates through every pixel of this print - it encapsulates everything that makes this region so beloved by locals and visitors alike. With its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, and picturesque seaside towns, Cornwall has always been a haven for those seeking solace by the sea. Although taken by an unknown photographer, their ability to capture such natural beauty is undeniable. This print serves as both a testament to their talent and a window into Cornwall's past
