EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming streets of West Looe Hill in Cornwall, circa 1961. The image beautifully captures a row of picturesque cottages that still stand proudly today, each with its own unique name and character. From left to right, we can see Ifor, Cauldron Cottage, Trevale, Mornessa, The Binnacle, Compass Cottage, Gulls Cottage, Chy-An-Nor and Fiddlers Elbow. The photographer behind this timeless snapshot is Charles Woolf. Through his lens, he has immortalized the essence of Cornish architecture and street scenes. The cobbled road adds an extra touch of authenticity to the scene as it winds its way past these delightful homes. Looking at this photograph transports us back in time when life was simpler yet full of joy. It reminds us of the beauty found in everyday moments and how even humble cottages can hold so much charm. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a window into history; a glimpse into a bygone era where greenham gardens flourished and cobblestone paths guided residents through their daily lives. It's an invitation to explore the rich heritage that Cornwall holds within its walls - one cottage at a time.
