EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque coastal village of Portreath in Cornwall, circa 1895. With its stunning view over the village and harbor, this image allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era. The talented photographer behind this masterpiece is none other than John Charles Burrow. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the bustling harbor where a majestic steamer rests peacefully in the docks. Its presence adds an air of excitement and adventure, reminding us of the vibrant maritime history that once thrived here. The charm of Portreath is further accentuated by its sandy beach stretching out before us. The golden grains seem to invite visitors for a leisurely stroll or perhaps a dip into the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Intriguingly, nestled amidst this idyllic landscape is a tramway – an intriguing reminder of how transportation systems have evolved over time. It sparks curiosity about how it was utilized during those days and what stories it holds within its tracks. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back more than a century ago, allowing us to appreciate both the natural beauty and historical significance of Portreath. It serves as a timeless testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and invites viewers on an enchanting journey through time itself.
