EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century and immerse yourself in the charming streets of Penzance, Cornwall. This stunning stereoscopic view captures the bustling Quay Street and Chapel Street, with its rich history and architecture on full display.
In the foreground, the Harbour Office stands proudly, flanked by The Dolphin and The Dock Hotel. These iconic buildings have witnessed generations of sailors, traders, and travelers passing through their doors. Notice the horse-drawn carts making their way up Quay Street, a testament to a bygone era when transportation was slower but no less vibrant.
As your gaze rises up Chapel Street, you'll notice the majestic Church of St Mary the Virgin standing sentinel over this picturesque scene. Its Gothic Revival architecture is a striking contrast to the more humble buildings surrounding it.
This photograph offers a glimpse into life in Penzance around 1900 - a time when trade was thriving and tourism was beginning to boom. Take a moment to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic street scene but also its significance as part of Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
