EDITORS COMMENTS
A Peaceful Scene at Clovelly Quayhead, Devon (circa 1910s) This charming postcard image captures the serene atmosphere of Clovelly Quayhead in Devon, England during the early 1900s. The quay, with its worn stone steps leading down to the water's edge, has been a bustling hub of activity for centuries. Fishing has long been the lifeblood of this picturesque fishing village, and the quayhead was the heart of the community. In this photograph, a small fishing boat is preparing to leave the harbor, its sails billowing gently in the breeze. The boat's crew, dressed in traditional fisherman's attire, are busy making final preparations before setting sail. The quay is lined with other boats, their masts forming a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The quayhead is surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Devon coastline, with its steep cliffs and rocky outcrops. The village of Clovelly, with its narrow, winding streets and whitewashed cottages, can be seen clinging to the hillside in the background. Despite the hustle and bustle of the fishing industry, there is a sense of tranquility in this image. The calm waters of the harbor reflect the clear blue sky, and the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the quay adds to the peaceful ambiance. This postcard offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler way of life.
