  This very old photograph of Trebarwith
  would have been taken at the 
  turn of the 20th century. 
  A man can be seen shovelling sand 
  into a cart and he has four donkeys
  in attendance.
 
  
 
  Another old photograph about the turn
  of the 20th Century. Here is another
  picture of a man shovelling sand into
  a pack on one donkey.
  Other donkeys stand nearby.
  Gull Rock in the background.
 
  
 
  This photo which was taken on a glass 
  plate has just been discovered in 2001.
   A horse & trap approaches Port William 
  & 
  some donkeys can be seen on entrance
  to the beach.  Probably circa 1860s?
 
  
 
  August Bank Holiday in 1890. 
  Locals people attended the beach in
  numbers with their horse & carriages.
  Long before visitors found our 
  sandy beach here in Tintagel.
 
  
 
  This early colour photograph was taken
  in the 1920s. Just one figure can be seen
  in the street. 
  Note the building he is near to.
  In the next photograph this building
  has been demolished.
 
  
 
  Another picture taken in the 1920s.
  However some building changes have
  taken place. Outside the Strand Hotel can
  be seen a cart and three donkeys. Had
  the owner slipped into the Hotel for a
  quick drink?
 
  
 
  This photograph clearly shows the road
  to the Port William Hotel. Note the large
  gateway at bottom right hand corner of
  the picture. 
  You can see Gull Rock in the background. 
  Taken around 1910-20
 
  
 
  Trebarwith during World War Two. 1939-45.
  The three Anti Submarine concrete 
  structures can be clearly seen on the
  approach path to the beach. 
  These were removed in the 1950s.
 
  
 
  A photo taken in the 1960s. 
  Note the coloured motor cars.
  There was no Life Saving Building or
  Toilet block in those days. It was quite
  normal to have someone drowned
  each summer. Now a rarity.
