EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque coast of Cornwall in August 1935 with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. The enchanting view showcases St Michaels Mount, a majestic island crowned by a medieval castle, as seen from Marazion Beach. Bathed in warm summer sunlight, the sandy beach stretches out before us, inviting visitors to bask in its tranquility. The low tide reveals a natural causeway leading towards the mount, allowing eager explorers to venture across and discover its hidden wonders. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we can spot people leisurely strolling along the shore or engaging in playful activities on the sand. Their presence adds an element of liveliness and human connection to this idyllic coastal landscape. Transported back to an era defined by simpler pleasures and slower rhythms of life, we are reminded of the enduring allure that Cornwall has held for generations. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for summers past. With its rich history and breathtaking scenery, it is no wonder that St Michaels Mount continues to captivate visitors today. Thanks to this remarkable photograph preserved at STEAM Museum of the GWR, we can relish in its beauty while appreciating how much has changed – or perhaps remained unchanged – over eight decades.
