EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the serene beauty of Challaborough Cove, near Bigbury-on-Sea, Devon, in September 1935. This print captures a moment of tranquility on a quiet sunny day in late summer. The golden sands of Challisborough Beach glisten under the clear blue sky, inviting visitors to bask in its natural splendor. In this GWR publicity view, taken from the Bigbury-on-Sea direction, we are transported to an era when simplicity reigned supreme. The untouched coastline stretches out before us, with only nature's handiwork adorning the landscape. It is a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to appreciate the unspoiled charm and raw beauty that once defined this coastal haven. Fast forward to modern times and witness how much has changed. Today, Challaborough presents a different scene altogether as a large holiday park now dominates the village. The echoes of history still resonate through these shores but are juxtaposed against bustling activity and vibrant tourism. This remarkable photograph reminds us not only of the passage of time but also serves as a reminder to cherish our natural treasures while they remain untouched by commercialization. Let it transport you back to an era where simplicity was cherished and nature held sway over man-made structures.
