EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to Lawrys Mill, nestled within the enchanting Carnanton Woods in St Mawgan in Pydar, Cornwall. The image captures a serene scene of a footbridge spanning the picturesque River Menalhyl. A man, lady, and their little girl stand on the bridge, accompanied by a bicycle. Formerly known as Carnanton Mill, this historic structure has been an integral part of the landscape for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to at least 1659 when it was believed to have been built. However, records indicate that it served as a tucking mill as early as 1809. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown but has expertly captured the tranquility and natural beauty surrounding Lawrys Mill. The lush greenery of Carnanton Woods frames the composition perfectly while the gentle flow of water in the river adds an element of serenity. This print is not associated with any commercial use but serves as a valuable historical document preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum. It offers us a glimpse into life during simpler times and allows us to appreciate both our rich heritage and stunning Cornish landscapes like never before.
