Avenue Cream Crock Minehead Somerset
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming seaside town of Minehead, Somerset, England, in the 1910s, as depicted in this photograph of The Crock of Cream on The Avenue. The Crock of Cream, a quaint and historic building, has been a beloved landmark of Minehead for over a century. Located on The Avenue, a tree-lined promenade along the seafront, The Crock of Cream was once a popular tea room and boarding house. The name "Crock of Cream" is believed to have originated from the large, earthenware crock that was once used to sell fresh cream to visitors. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with its quaint Victorian architecture, horse-drawn carriages, and elegant ladies in long dresses and bonnets strolling along the promenade. The Crock of Cream, with its inviting sign and whitewashed walls, stands proudly in the background, beckoning visitors to come and enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake. The 1910s were a time of great change and progress, with the advent of the automobile, the rise of the movie industry, and the beginning of the First World War. Yet, despite the rapid pace of modernization, places like The Crock of Cream remained a cherished reminder of a simpler time. Today, The Crock of Cream continues to be a beloved institution in Minehead, having been restored and transformed into a popular ice cream parlor and tea room. Visitors from around the world come to sample its famous ice cream and to soak up the unique atmosphere of this historic building and its beautiful seaside setting.
