Harvesting at Trenance

Mr Richard Harvey and workers harvesting at Trenance, Mullion, Cornwall, 1900-1. Alfred Newton and Son. Silver gelatin glass plate negative. This image has captured distinct and somewhat incongruous elements. Traditional intergenerational farming forms the main subject but the distant Marconi Signal Station is a symbol of modernity. The Poldhu Hotel, built to house Marconi workers, can be seen behind the signal station
