EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a picturesque view of Lynmouth from Lynton, Devon in the summer of 1929. The image showcases the breathtaking north Devon coastal cliffs stretching into the distance, creating a dramatic backdrop for this charming seaside town. At the bottom of the frame stands the original iconic Rhenish Tower, perched on the pier. This historic tower would later meet its tragic fate during the devastating summer flood of 1952. However, it was resiliently rebuilt two years later to resemble its former glory. The photograph encapsulates a bygone era when visitors flocked to this idyllic coastal destination to bask in its natural beauty and tranquility. The shimmering waters of Lynmouth's harbor reflect an aura of serenity as boats gently sway with each passing tide. August sunlight bathes everything in a warm glow, casting long shadows along the rugged coastline. It is evident that this snapshot was taken during a time when life moved at a slower pace - where locals and tourists alike could appreciate nature's wonders without distraction. As we gaze upon this timeless image from nearly a century ago, we are reminded not only of our connection to history but also how resilience can rebuild what has been lost.
