EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1933, capturing a picturesque view of Newquay, Cornwall. The image was originally used as a publicity view by the Great Western Railway (GWR) to showcase the beauty of this charming seaside town. Taken from the Towan Headland area, it offers a breathtaking perspective of Newquay's stunning cliffs and sandy beaches. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of 1930s coastal life, with its timeless charm and idyllic scenery. Standing between two gateway posts, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that era, imagining visitors strolling along these very paths in their vintage attire. As our gaze extends towards the horizon, we are greeted by an endless expanse of sparkling sea meeting the sky. The rugged coastline stretches out majestically before us; its cliffs standing tall against crashing waves below. It is easy to imagine families enjoying lazy beach days or adventurous souls exploring hidden coves along this coast. Newquay's natural beauty shines through every detail captured in this remarkable photograph - from the jagged cliffs contrasting with soft sands to the inviting turquoise waters beckoning swimmers on hot summer days. Preserved within STEAM Museum of GWR's collection, this evocative image serves as a nostalgic portal into Newquay's past – reminding us why it has remained one of Cornwall’s most beloved seaside destinations for generations.
