Looking down hill on the Trebetherick Road over Polzeath beach towards Pentireglaze, now known as New Polzeath. The name change to New Polzeath was probably to reflect the housing development that has taken place over the decades since this photograph was taken. Photographer: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1930s, capturing the serene beauty of the southwest side of Polzeath in St Minver, Cornwall. The image offers a picturesque view from atop Trebetherick Road, looking down towards Polzeath beach and beyond to Pentireglaze, now known as New Polzeath. The photographer remains unknown, but their skill is evident in this stunning composition. The Cornish coastline stretches out before us, with its rugged cliffs meeting the sparkling sea below. The sandy shores of Polzeath beach beckon visitors to come and enjoy its tranquil charm. In this snapshot from history, we can observe a glimpse of life at that time. Nestled amidst nature's splendor are scattered houses dotting the landscape – humble abodes that have witnessed countless generations pass by over the years. A solitary bench sits quietly on the hillside, inviting weary travelers or locals seeking solace to rest and soak up the breathtaking views surrounding them. It is interesting to note that since this photograph was taken, New Polzeath has emerged as a result of extensive housing development in the area. This name change likely reflects both progress and growth within this coastal community. As we admire this vintage print from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a reminder of how landscapes evolve over time while still retaining their timeless allure.
