Bicycle Cottage Lands Off Ice Sennen Thatched
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Lands End - Sennen Post Office, circa 1910s. Located in the picturesque village of Sennen, in the far west of Cornwall, England, this quaint thatched cottage once served as a vital communication hub for the local community. The image captures the simple beauty of rural life during this era. A bicycle is parked outside the post office, suggesting that the postmaster made his rounds on two wheels, delivering mail to the remote homes scattered along the rugged coastline. The post office building, with its whitewashed walls and black-painted door, sits nestled among the lush greenery, surrounded by wildflowers and trees. Despite its isolated location, the post office at Lands End - Sennen was a vital link to the outside world. In those days, before the advent of modern communication technologies, the postal service was the primary means of exchanging news and information with family and friends living far away. The postmaster, a local resident, would have been an essential figure in the community, ensuring that letters and parcels were delivered promptly and efficiently. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the harsh weather conditions that the residents of Sennen endured. The post office is situated at the edge of the land, with the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretching out beyond the cliffs. The postmaster would have had to contend with the elements, braving the wind and rain to deliver the mail. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived in this remote corner of Cornwall, making the most of their surroundings and relying on each other to stay connected. Today, Lands End - Sennen Post Office may no longer be in operation, but its legacy lives on, inspiring us with its charm and reminding us of a simpler time.
