Trebarwith Strand Through The Years
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PHOTO PLEASE CONTACT DAVID FLOWER 01840 770775
This very old photograph of Trebarwith
would have been taken at the
turn of the 20th century.
A man can be seen shovelling sand
into a cart and he has four donkeys
in attendance.
Another old photograph about the turn
of the 20th Century. Here is another
picture of a man shovelling sand into
a pack on one donkey.
Other donkeys stand nearby.
Gull Rock in the background.
This photo which was taken on a glass
plate has just been discovered in 2001.
A horse & trap approaches Port William
&
some donkeys can be seen on entrance
to the beach. Probably circa 1860s?
August Bank Holiday in 1890.
Locals people attended the beach in
numbers with their horse & carriages.
Long before visitors found our
sandy beach here in Tintagel.
This early colour photograph was taken
in the 1920s. Just one figure can be seen
in the street.
Note the building he is near to.
In the next photograph this building
has been demolished.
Another picture taken in the 1920s.
However some building changes have
taken place. Outside the Strand Hotel can
be seen a cart and three donkeys. Had
the owner slipped into the Hotel for a
quick drink?
This photograph clearly shows the road
to the Port William Hotel. Note the large
gateway at bottom right hand corner of
the picture.
You can see Gull Rock in the background.
Taken around 1910-20
Trebarwith during World War Two. 1939-45.
The three Anti Submarine concrete
structures can be clearly seen on the
approach path to the beach.
These were removed in the 1950s.
A photo taken in the 1960s.
Note the coloured motor cars.
There was no Life Saving Building or
Toilet block in those days. It was quite
normal to have someone drowned
each summer. Now a rarity.
