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?

This week’s object is a Woodwork Scribe — which some of you guessed correctly. From rudimentary sticks to finely crafted steel points, the woodworking scribe has evolved as a critical precision tool for marking and guiding cuts — well done to everyone who recognised it!

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 is from Princes Street in town. We believe that Princes Street’s history is tied to Bude’s growth in the 19th and 20th centuries, with buildings like the one at No. 3, which became N T Keat’s hardware shop, initially housing a bootmaker in the late 1800s before Othello Terrace was demolished. This street became a commercial hub, evolving as the town expanded from its origins as a harbour and agricultural centre.
