EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a sunny day in the 1930s, immersing us in the bustling atmosphere of Fore Street, Fowey, Cornwall. The image captures a snapshot of everyday life in this charming Cornish town, where locals and visitors alike strolled along the vibrant street. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to an array of quaint shops lining both sides of Fore Street. Their inviting storefronts showcase an assortment of goods and services that would have catered to the needs and desires of those who passed by. From clothing boutiques to bookstores, each shop seems to hold its own unique charm. Amongst the crowd meandering through this picturesque street, we catch glimpses of individuals going about their daily routines. Some walk with purposeful strides while others pause for conversations or window shopping. Their presence adds life and movement to this vintage photograph. Intriguingly positioned amidst these shops is a garage—a testament to how even small towns like Fowey were embracing modernity during this era. A reminder that progress was not confined solely within city limits but reached far-flung corners like Cornwall. With its warm sunlight casting shadows on cobblestone streets and colorful facades reflecting off windows, this print transports us back in time—allowing us a glimpse into an idyllic moment captured forever on film.
