This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless charm of this picturesque square. The image reveals a bustling scene, with people going about their daily business. Children play in the foreground, their laughter carried on the gentle breeze. A woman in a hat and coat walks her dog along the cobblestone path, while a man in a bowler hat sits on a bench, engrossed in a newspaper. In the background, the whitewashed cottages and studios of St Ives cling to the hillside, their windows reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape.
