Church Cove, Landewednack, Cornwall. Late 1800s
View of thatched cottages in Church Lane looking down the hill. The first cottage has a Boat for Hire R.H. Harris sign above the door. This could be the R.H.Harris described in 1906-1919 Kellys as a naturalist. There are tables outside laid for tea with a sign saying Tea Made Here. The next cottage down also has a sign Boat on Hire but the name on the sign is illegible. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 1800s with this print of Church Cove, Landewednack, Cornwall. The picturesque scene showcases a charming view of thatched cottages nestled along Church Lane, gently sloping down the hill. As your eyes wander through the image, you'll notice intriguing details that bring this historic moment to life. The first cottage on the left proudly displays a sign above its door proclaiming 'Boat for Hire R. H. Harris. ' It is fascinating to consider whether this could be the same R. H. Harris mentioned in Kelly's directory from 1906-1919 as a naturalist - perhaps an adventurous soul who explored both land and sea. Tables outside are meticulously set for tea, inviting passersby to indulge in refreshments lovingly prepared at this idyllic spot. A sign nearby cheerfully announces 'Tea Made Here, ' promising warm cups of comfort amidst breathtaking surroundings. Continuing our journey down Church Lane, another cottage catches our attention with its own boat hire sign; however, time has rendered the name illegible – leaving us intrigued by its mysterious past. Captured by Arthur William Jordan, a talented photographer of his era, this Victorian-era photograph offers a glimpse into daily life on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula. Transport yourself back in time and immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of this enchanting coastal village.
