EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to August 1928, capturing a picturesque view over the charming harbour at Penzance in Cornwall. The image beautifully showcases the essence of summer on the coast, with its clear blue skies and glistening waters. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the bustling harbour wall that stretches out into the sea. It serves as a testament to Penzance's maritime heritage and its importance as a trading port during that era. As we gaze further into the distance, our eyes are drawn towards St Marys Church, standing tall amidst the town's sprawl. Its church tower acts as a beacon, guiding both locals and visitors alike. Transporting ourselves back to this bygone era allows us to appreciate how much has changed while also recognizing what remains timeless about Penzance. The charm and character of this coastal town have endured through generations, attracting tourists seeking solace in its serene beauty. As we admire this historical photograph, it reminds us not only of Penzance's rich history but also encourages us to explore our own connection with time and place. It invites contemplation about how communities evolve yet retain their unique identity throughout decades. In preserving moments like these within museums such as STEAM Museum of GWR, we can continue celebrating our shared heritage while inspiring future generations to appreciate their roots and embrace change with open arms.
