Old Arch - St. Ives, Cornwall: A Glimpse into the Past Step back in time with this photograph of Old Arch in St. Ives, Cornwall. Dating back to circa 1910, this image transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to explore the rich history and charm of this quintessential Cornish town. The Old Arch, also known as the Old Granite Arch or Hicks' Court Arch, is a narrow passageway located in the heart of St. Ives. Constructed from granite, this ancient archway once served as an essential connection between the upper and lower parts of the town, allowing residents to navigate the steep terrain with ease. As we peer through the archway, we are greeted by a scene of quaint, terraced houses nestled along the winding alleyway. Their ivy-covered walls and colorful doors exude a timeless appeal, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who once called this place home. The Old Arch is not only a historical landmark but also a reminder of the unique character that sets St. Ives apart from other seaside towns. Its narrow passageways and winding alleys are a testament to the town's long and fascinating history, which is deeply intertwined with the Cornish maritime tradition. As we stand in awe of this photograph, we can't help but imagine the stories that lie within the walls of these houses and the lives of the people who once walked through the Old Arch. This image is a precious reminder of the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of St. Ives, Cornwall.
