More about this scene
Although this photograph was taken for the view of the hotel above the bathing beach, of special interest here is the group of four new radio masts out on Poldhu cliffs. This was the wireless station where Guglielmo Marconi first transmitted signals to Newfoundland in December 1901. The hotel was built in 1890 as a large boarding house for tourists; it was close to the sea and the golf links.
