EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Falcon Hotel, Bude, Cornwall. The image showcases a bustling scene outside the hotel, capturing two vintage cars parked gracefully in front. On the right side of the frame stands John Charles Burrow, an esteemed photographer of his time, while Herbert Hughes can be seen comfortably positioned within the porch. Although the identity of the photographer remains unknown, their skill is evident in preserving this remarkable moment. To add further charm to this snapshot from history, a board displaying train times for London and South Western Railway's Bideford, Clovelly, and Bude branch line proudly stands on the left side of the hotel porch. This detail hints at a bygone era when railways were crucial lifelines connecting towns and cities across Britain. The photograph itself exudes Cornish authenticity; it captures not only architectural details but also glimpses into daily life during that period. It offers us a unique window into how people dressed and interacted with each other as they went about their day. This print transports us back to a simpler time when cars were still novelties on our roads and travel was predominantly reliant on trains. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over decades while celebrating Cornwall's rich heritage that continues to captivate visitors today.
