EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque landscape of Tregaseal (Tregeseal) and the Foundry from Nancherrow Hill, St Just in Penwith, Cornwall during the early 1900s. The image captures a general view of Tregaseal as it stretches up the valley, with the prominent foundry buildings occupying the middle ground. Notably, Holmans Iron Foundry, established in 1834, stands proudly within this industrial scene. While time has taken its toll on the foundry buildings depicted in this photograph, remnants of their historical significance can still be observed today. However, what remains steadfast are many houses that were originally constructed to accommodate the diligent workforce employed by Holmans Iron Foundry. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown but has successfully captured both the natural beauty and industrial prowess synonymous with Cornwall's Victorian and Edwardian eras. This image serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and its significant contributions to Britain's industrial revolution. As an invaluable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when Tregaseal thrived as an important hub for iron production. Its inclusion within our archives ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from Cornwall's fascinating history while celebrating its unique culture and stunning landscapes.
