EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Devils Frying Pan BB98_02002" takes us back in time to the rugged beauty of Cadgwith Cove, Grade-Ruan, Cornwall. Captured between 1896 and 1920 by Alfred Newton and Sons, this image from the Historic England Archive transports us to an era long gone. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are drawn to the dramatic coastline that stretches out before us. The wild sea crashes against towering cliffs, creating a spectacle that is both awe-inspiring and fearsome. It's no wonder why this location has become steeped in folklore and legend. Known as "The Devils Frying Pan" this natural rock formation adds an air of mystery to the already enchanting landscape. According to local tales passed down through generations, it is believed that these treacherous waters were once used by the devil himself for frying his catch of souls. Intriguingly enough, despite its ominous name and reputation, Cadgwith Cove remains a place of immense beauty and tranquility today. Its picturesque charm draws visitors from far and wide who come to witness firsthand the breathtaking scenery captured so vividly in this historic photograph. Thanks to Historic England Archive's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate not only the stunning visuals but also gain insight into how people experienced coastal life over a century ago. This print serves as a reminder of our connection with nature's power while honoring those who have documented its wonders throughout history.
