EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of St Mawes in Cornwall, during the golden autumn of September 1930. The image beautifully captures a group of people leisurely strolling up a hill adorned with picturesque white washed cottages. Each cottage exudes an air of tranquility and timeless beauty, seemingly untouched by the passage of time. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, casting long shadows on the cobblestone path that winds its way through this idyllic Cornish village. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, it's impossible not to be transported back in time and imagine what life was like for those who called St Mawes home. The cottages stand as silent witnesses to generations past, their walls echoing stories untold. One can almost hear the laughter and chatter that once filled these narrow streets as locals went about their daily lives. In this sepia-toned photograph, we are reminded of simpler times when community spirit thrived and neighbors knew each other by name. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst our ever-changing world, there are still pockets where tradition endures. As we admire this glimpse into history at STEAM Museum of the GWR, let us take a moment to appreciate the charm and character embodied by St Mawes Village - a true gem nestled along Cornwall's rugged coastline.
