EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tranquil shores of Challaborough Cove in August 1928. A GWR publicity view, it showcases the untouched beauty of this hidden gem near Bigbury-on-Sea in Devon. The scene depicts a serene summer day, with Challisborough Beach basking under the warm sun. Two small boats rest peacefully on the sandy shore, marking the high tide's gentle touch. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it becomes evident that time has brought significant changes to Challaborough Cove. Nowadays, a large holiday park dominates the once quaint village, transforming its landscape and character. However, through this image frozen in time, we are transported to an era when nature reigned supreme and simplicity defined coastal living. The charm of Challaborough Bay shines through as we imagine strolling along its pristine coastline or dipping our toes into crystal-clear waters. This idyllic cove invites us to escape from modern-day hustle and bustle and embrace a slower pace of life. Stepping into history through STEAM Museum's collection allows us to appreciate how landscapes evolve over time while cherishing their timeless allure. Let this photograph transport you back to August 1928—a moment captured forever—where tranquility met natural beauty at Challaborough Cove in Devon's picturesque coast during those magical summer days of the 1920s.
