Postcard of the Natural Arch, Progo Sands, south of Cape Cornwall, Kresen Kernow
🖼️ Postcard from 1908 showing the natural arch at Progo Sands, near Cape Cornwall. “Glorious weather here now, off for a walk…” A glimpse into everyday life and friendship over a century ago. #WishYouWereHere #CornwallHistory #worldpostcardday
📚 This month’s #ExploreYourArchives theme is Education! Today we looked at 1935–36 timetables from Delaware Road School, Gunnislake. Children aged 5–14 studied until 4pm—but had a generous 1½ hour lunch! A glimpse into school life 90 years ago. 🕰️ #archives #CornwallHistory

A royal day to remember! Students & staff at Pool Academy were thrilled as HRH The Princess Royal landed on the school field during her visit to South Crofty Mine. A proud moment #RoyalVisit #PoolAcademy #CornwallHistory
A week ago I stumbled upon Charlotte Dymond’s grave in Davidstow Churchyard. Murdered in 1844, she haunts Cornwall still. Love, jealousy, injustice; and a ghost in the mist. Some voices refuse to be silenced. #CharlotteDymond #CornwallHistory #TrueCrimeUK
The Eye Well (or Bree Shute) in Bodmin was once famed for healing eyes—“Bree” means hill in Cornish. A 19th-c. report called its water “fairly good”… but it was toxic. Still murky today—fancy a sip? I don't! 😂 #CornwallHistory #HiddenBritain #Bodmin
