A late 19th Century view of the beach at Newquay, a town in the south west of England, in the United Kingdom. It is a seaside resort and a fishing port on the North Atlantic coast of Cornwall. After the arrival of passenger trains in 1876, the former fishing village of New Quay began to grow in the second half of the nineteenth century, when several major hotels were built.
A late 19th Century view of the beach at Newquay, a town in the south west of England, in the United Kingdom. It is a seaside resort and a fishing port on the North Atlantic coast of Cornwall. After the arrival of passenger trains in 1876, the former fishing village of New Quay began to grow in the second half of the nineteenth century. Several major hotels were built around the turn of the 19th century, including the Victoria in East Street, the Atlantic and the Headland, while many others were created around this period by converting former large houses which had been built originally by wealthy visitors as holiday homes, particularly along Narrowcliff.
