Breathtaking Aerial View of the Picturesque Cornish Village of Polperro, Lansallos, Cornwall (HAW01_09399_18) This aerial photograph, taken by Harold Wingham on the 30th of July 1959, offers a unique perspective of the enchanting Cornish village of Polperro. Nestled along the rugged coastline of Lansallos in Cornwall, England, this quaint fishing village has long been celebrated for its natural beauty and rich maritime history. The image reveals a mosaic of terracotta-roofed cottages, huddled together along the steep, winding streets that cascade towards the harbor. The village's narrow lanes and hidden courtyards are a testament to its long-standing tradition as a smuggling hub during the 18th and 19th centuries. The photograph also showcases the village's stunning location, with its sheltered harbor nestled between the cliffs and the sea. The crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant colors of the boats moored in the harbor, while the rocky shoreline and craggy cliffs that surround the village provide a dramatic backdrop. Harold Wingham's masterful composition captures the essence of Polperro's charm, offering a glimpse into the past while highlighting the timeless beauty of this Cornish gem. This aerial view serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this idyllic village and its rich cultural heritage.
