EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at The Wharf and Quay Street in St Ives, Cornwall, during the 1950s. Taken from Seagull Flats in the morning, the image showcases the harbor beach foresand, lined with quaint cottages and the Quay House. The Pilots Office, now the Harbour Masters Office, stands prominently, with St Leonards Chapel peeking over the rooftops. Punts are moored on the beach, and washing is hung out to dry, suggesting it's probably a Monday. In the bottom right corner, a large sewer pipe at the bottom of the small slipway, Curnows Slip, adds an intriguing element to the composition. The photograph, taken by Gilbert Adams in 1954, beautifully encapsulates the sunny morning in St Ives with its warm sunshine reflecting off the water and the vibrant energy of the coastal town. This photograph is part of a great series of studies of St Ives, Cornwall, by Gilbert Adams, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the charm and character of this popular seaside destination.
