EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the aftermath of nature's fury, this poignant print takes us back to a stormy January day in 1990 at Penhale Caravan Park in Fowey, Cornwall. The powerful overnight storm unleashed its wrath upon the peaceful residential park, leaving up to ten caravans destroyed in its wake. Thankfully, it was off-season and no one was staying in these homes away from home when disaster struck. The photographer, Jonathan Barker, skillfully captures the scene with his lens as evidence of Mother Nature's unpredictable temperament. The image showcases the resilience of Cornwall's residents against harsh weather conditions that often test their mettle. Despite recent refurbishments on some caravans, they were not spared from the relentless winds and damage inflicted by this tempestuous event. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and unpredictability of coastal living. This photograph is now preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection as a testament to human vulnerability amidst natural forces beyond our control. Its historical significance lies not only in documenting an unfortunate incident but also highlighting how communities come together during times of crisis. Let this snapshot transport you back to that fateful day when wind roared through Fowey, leaving behind scars etched into memories and reminding us all of nature's awe-inspiring power.
