EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Port Gaverne, a charming coastal village in St Endellion, Cornwall. Taken in 1906 by photographer Herbert Hughes, the image showcases a general view from the Port Isaac road, offering a picturesque scene that transports us back in time. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, our eyes are drawn downhill to the beach and village below. Boats rest peacefully on the sandy shore, evidence of Port Gaverne's bustling past as an important port for exporting slate from Delabole quarry. The presence of bathing huts hints at its popularity as a seaside destination even then. Once renowned for its vibrant seining industry, with four pilchard cellars capable of processing an impressive 1000 tons of fish per week, Port Gaverne had evolved into a thriving tourist spot by 1900. Today, it continues to attract holidaymakers who seek solace amidst its breathtaking coastal vistas and idyllic cove. The photograph encapsulates Cornish charm at its finest – rugged cliffs meeting gentle waves; quaint cottages dotting the landscape; and an air of tranquility that has stood the test of time. It serves as both a window into history and an invitation to explore this timeless gem along England's southwestern coast.
