EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to witness a dramatic moment in Perranporth's history. The image showcases the devastating flooding of Station Road, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, possibly dating back to 1924. With an expertly captured perspective from Wheal Leisure, we are transported to a scene where nature's fury has transformed this tranquil town into a watery maze. The power of water is on full display as floodwaters have completely engulfed Station Road and spilled over onto St Pirans Road in the background. The photographer, Arthur William Jordan, skillfully captures the chaos and destruction caused by this natural disaster. The once bustling streets now resemble a vast river cutting through the heart of this coastal community. Cornwall's rugged beauty meets its untamed force as buildings stand partially submerged amidst swirling currents. This photograph serves as both a historical record and a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how Perranporth has evolved since then. It stands as a reminder that even our most cherished landscapes can be vulnerable to nature's whims. Let us cherish these moments captured by photographers like Arthur William Jordan for they offer glimpses into our past while igniting conversations about climate change and our responsibility towards preserving our precious coastal towns from future floods.
