Adults Coach Cornish Gramophone Holidaymakers Hotels Sepia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting sepia photograph captures a delightful moment in time outside the picturesque Hotel de Coach in Feock, Cornwall, during the summer of 1908. The Edwardian era was a period of leisure and relaxation, and this image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of holidaymaking during that era. A group of adults and children are gathered around a gramophone, their faces filled with excitement and joy as they listen to the music. The Hotel de Coach, also known as the Coach House, can be seen in the background, its elegant facade adorned with ivy and climbing plants. Feock, a charming Cornish village located on the banks of the Fal River, was a popular destination for holidaymakers seeking a break from their daily routines. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are captivated by the music, some clapping their hands and others tapping their feet. The adults, many of whom are dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire, appear to be enjoying the moment as much as the children. The gramophone, a relatively new technology at the time, would have been a novelty and a source of great entertainment. The photograph transports us back to a simpler time, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of music and the company of loved ones were enough to bring joy and happiness. This image is a testament to the enduring power of human connection and the importance of making memories with the people we care about.
