EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a distant view of Lloyds signal station on Bass Point, located in the picturesque Landewednack village of Cornwall's stunning Lizard Peninsula. Dating back to the early 1900s, this historical image showcases not only the iconic signal station but also Marconi's original experimental hut with its towering mast. Taken from a vantage point near the Housel Bay Hotel, the photograph offers a glimpse into an era when radio communications were still in their infancy. The rugged coastline and vast expanse of sea provide a breathtaking backdrop for these pioneering structures that played a crucial role in connecting people across great distances. As we explore this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to hay mows dotting the field below, reminding us of Cornwall's agricultural heritage. On the left side of the frame stands the elegant Housel Bay Hotel, adding charm and character to this already enchanting scene. The photographer behind this remarkable composition remains unknown; however, their ability to capture both natural beauty and man-made marvels is evident. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our timeless fascination with harnessing technology for communication purposes. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in Cornish history while contemplating how far we have come since those early days of radio experimentation on Bass Point.
