EDITORS COMMENTS
Jill Trounson and her loyal companion find solace on the steps of the historic Fly pilchard cellar, nestled in the picturesque town of Newquay, Cornwall. This print captures a moment frozen in time, most likely taken in 1921. As Jill sits gracefully with her dog by her side, one cannot help but be enchanted by their presence against the backdrop of the remnants of Good Intent pilchard cellar. The Fly pilchard cellar stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich fishing heritage, having been built upon a rock shelf beneath the east side of Beacon back in 1800. Its neighboring counterpart, Good Intent, was erected between Fly and Active cellars on what used to be occupied by the old Tithy Seine. These structures serve as reminders of an industry that once thrived along these coastal shores. Part of the esteemed J. H. Trounson collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph captures not only Jill's youthful innocence but also offers a glimpse into Cornish life during that era. The unknown photographer skillfully encapsulates both Jill's serene demeanor and her deep connection with nature. This image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when fishing played an integral role in sustaining livelihoods along this rugged coastline. It is a poignant reminder that behind every industry lies stories waiting to be discovered.
