Cornish Heritage mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 18in x 12in.
Ruins set beside a calm stream, this scene creates a balanced and reflective focal point suited to nature-led interiors. Ideal for living rooms, studies, or quiet spaces, it pairs well with neutral tones and natural textures, adding a sense of stillness.
The Kennall Vale Nature Reserve is a very well-hidden valley between Redruth and Falmouth, Cornwall. It was the site of the Kennall Vale gunpowder factory which started production about 1812 and supplied the local Cornish mines, employing about 50 men by 1850. When more sophisticated explosives came onto the market in the 1880s, the factory declined before closing in the early 1900s.
In May 1838 'Five mills blew up in succession, and part of a roof was found a mile from the premises. The reports were most terrific and created the greatest alarm over an extensive tract of country'. Amazingly only one man lost his life.
A stone building stands beside a shallow stream, its walls reflected faintly in the clear water. The surrounding trees and foliage create a soft green backdrop, while a fallen branch in the foreground adds balance to the composition. The scene feels still and contained, with a strong connection between water and structure.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
Very prompt service, good communication, arrived when promised, lovely item! Would definitely use in the future!
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
