EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Newquay, Cornwall, circa 1928. This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction and near completion of the iconic Pentire Hotel. The image showcases the grandeur of its architecture, with scaffolding delicately embracing its structure, hinting at the anticipation that filled the air. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where fashion was as much a statement as it was an art form. A mother gracefully stands alongside her children in the foreground; one nestled comfortably in a pram. Their attire reflects the elegance and sophistication synonymous with 1920s fashion - cloche hats adorning their heads and stylish ensembles draping their bodies. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown, yet their lens has immortalized not only a building but also captured slices of life from another era. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come while cherishing our rich heritage. This evocative image serves as a testament to Cornwall's enduring allure as a tourist destination throughout history. It invites us to explore its breathtaking coastline and immerse ourselves in its timeless charm. Let it transport you on an enchanting journey through time.
