EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the early 20th century, this print captures the magnificent Trenance viaduct in Newquay, Cornwall. Taken around 1910 from the picturesque vantage point of Trenance Gardens, the viaduct stands tall and proud against a backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue skies. Its elegant arches seem to bridge not only physical gaps but also connect us with a bygone era. In the foreground, four stylish women donning fashionable straw boaters add a touch of charm and character to this historic scene. Their presence hints at an idyllic day out amidst nature's beauty, perhaps enjoying leisurely strolls or engaging in lively conversations as they take in the breathtaking view before them. The photographer behind this timeless snapshot remains unknown, yet their skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of engineering marvels like Trenance viaduct and the human element that brings life to such scenes. This image serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and its strong ties with railway history. The Great Western Railway (GWR), although unmentioned here for commercial purposes, played a significant role in shaping transportation networks across Britain during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are transported back through time; reminded of simpler days filled with natural beauty and architectural wonders that continue to captivate our imagination.
