Newquay, Cliff Road 1918

More about this scene
Just horse-drawn traffic, a bicycle and one distant motor car are the only vehicles in the street. This photograph was taken in the last year of the Great War, and the pedestrian on the left is perhaps reading a newspaper report from the front. A railway branch from Par on the main line helped develop Newquay as a holiday and bathing resort after it fully opened in 1876, and the entrance to the station terminus is up the street on the left.
