Memory Lane Mondays – Through the Lens

📸 Step back in time with Memory Lane Mondays as we explore Bude’s past Through the Lens of our historic photo archives. From busy streets to quiet coastal views, each image captures a piece of our town’s story.

This week’s photo was a bit trickier and there were only a few landmarks in the background that some of you may recognise. It’s actually taken at Hartland Terrace -you can see an early car on Hartland Terrace, where An Mor is. We think this could be a photo of the Fry family (as in the chocolate) who spent summers in Bude, travelling from Bristol via boat? What do you think?

Did you know that we hold an extensive selection of photos and artefacts, just waiting to tell a story, here at The Heritage Centre. You can also view a sample of this at: https://www.cornishmemory.com/items/browse?search=Bude+Heritage+Centre
