EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing the bustling interior of The Active pilchard cellar in Newquay, Cornwall. Immersed in the heart of the fishing industry, four hardworking fishermen are diligently mending nets and crab pots. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent at sea, battling nature's elements to bring home a bountiful catch. Dressed in traditional Cornish attire, their gansy sweaters and hats provide protection against the harsh coastal winds that whip through this historic fishing town. Each stitch on their smocks represents years of experience and dedication to their craft. The scene is alive with activity as fish scales shimmer under dimly lit lanterns hanging from wooden beams above. The unmistakable aroma of saltwater fills the air, intermingled with hints of freshly caught fish awaiting processing. Sadly, The Active met its demise between 1905 and 1906 when it was demolished. However, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten—a testament to the resilience and tenacity embedded within Cornwall's fishing heritage. Preserved by photographer Ennor's lens, this snapshot transports us back to a time when fishing was more than just an occupation; it was a way of life—a connection between man and sea that shaped communities along these rugged shores for generations to come.
