EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to Fowey, Cornwall in the 1930s. The image beautifully captures a serene moment on the Fowey River, showcasing the timeless charm of this Cornish village. In the foreground, we see a man skillfully rowing his small boat upriver. His rhythmic strokes create gentle ripples in the water as he navigates towards one of the bustling landings. This scene is made even more picturesque by numerous vessels moored up along the riverbank, their masts reaching towards an azure sky. The quaint village of Fowey comes alive in this snapshot from history. Its narrow streets and traditional buildings are nestled against rolling hills that overlook both river and sea. With its rich maritime heritage, it's no wonder that boats play such a central role in daily life here. The coastal atmosphere is palpable; salty breezes mingle with sounds of seagulls overhead and distant waves crashing against rugged cliffs. This idyllic setting invites visitors to explore not only Fowey but also its surrounding natural wonders. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we can't help but be transported to a simpler time when rowing was not just a means of transportation but also an art form—a way for locals to connect with their surroundings and embrace nature's beauty. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Fowey's enduring allure and offers us a glimpse into its past—a place where tradition meets
