The Keigwin Arms, Mousehole, Cornwall, 1936: A Glimpse into Centuries of History". This print takes us back to the year 1936 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of The Keigwin Arms in Mousehole, Cornwall. With an unknown creator behind it, this image beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable establishment. Dating back to the 14th century and believed to be the oldest building in town, The Keigwin Arms holds centuries worth of stories within its ancient walls. It was here that owner Jenkyn Keigwin valiantly defended his house against Spanish invaders in 1595, ultimately sacrificing his life for its protection. The photograph showcases not only the architectural beauty of this historic inn but also provides a snapshot of life in rural England during that era. In the background, we see people going about their daily activities while a group of boys adds youthful energy to the scene. Situated by the coast in Mousehole's charming fishing village, The Keigwin Arms stands as a testament to Cornish heritage and tradition. Its old-fashioned facade exudes character and charm while railings frame its entrance with elegance. Thanks to this vintage cigarette card from "Old Inns - A Series of 40" produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills in 1936, we can appreciate both the architectural significance and cultural importance attached to this iconic pub. Whether you are drawn by its historical value or simply captivated by its timeless beauty, The Keigwin Arms remains an enduring symbol of Cornwall's past and present.
