Rose pilchard cellar, Newquay, Cornwall. Before 1886

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling coastal town of Newquay, Cornwall, before the year 1886. The image captures a picturesque view of Towan Beach, with its golden sands stretching out towards the glistening sea. In the foreground stands the iconic Rose fish cellar, a historic structure that played an integral role in Newquay's fishing industry. Built in 1788 at the top of South Quay hill, the Rose cellars were a vital hub for pilchard processing and storage. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their existence before they were demolished around 1886. Standing tall against the backdrop of this scenic seascape, it is impossible not to marvel at their architectural grandeur. Adjacent to the fish cellar lies Treffry tramway tunnel, adding another layer of historical significance to this remarkable snapshot. The tunnel served as an essential transportation link for goods and materials during that era. The photographer behind this evocative image is Ennor - his keen eye has perfectly captured both natural beauty and man-made structures within one frame. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness Newquay's rich maritime heritage unfold before our eyes.
