EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, taken in 1906 by photographer Herbert Hughes, we catch a glimpse of Teresa Mallett on the steps of a quaint cottage in Port Gaverne, St Endellion, Cornwall. The rugged beauty of the Cornish coast serves as an enchanting backdrop to this timeless image. Teresa stands gracefully at the foot of the steps, her presence exuding strength and resilience. Clutched firmly in her hands is a wooden barrel pail, perhaps filled with fresh water from the nearby sea or provisions for her family. Her attire reflects the simplicity and practicality of life during that era. Port Gaverne itself holds a rich history as it once thrived as a bustling port for exporting slate from Delabole quarry. It was also renowned for its seining industry, boasting four pilchard cellars capable of processing an astonishing 1000 tons of fish per week. However, by 1900 tourism had become the village's main source of income - attracting visitors who were captivated by its picturesque charm. Today, Port Gaverne remains popular among holidaymakers seeking solace amidst nature's wonders. Its unspoiled cove and idyllic coastal setting continue to draw people from far and wide to experience Cornwall's unparalleled beauty firsthand. This remarkable photograph offers us a window into both Teresa Mallett's world and Port Gaverne's past glory - reminding us that even within seemingly ordinary moments lies extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered
