2000s Clock Tower Road Shop Street Scene
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mike Hesketh-Roberts takes us back to the vibrant High Street of Falmouth, Cornwall in 2007. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are immediately drawn to the charming shopfronts that line the bustling street. Each store seems to have its own unique character and story to tell, enticing passersby with their colorful displays and inviting entrances. In the heart of this lively scene stands a magnificent clock tower, proudly overseeing the comings and goings of locals and visitors alike. Its elegant architecture adds a touch of grandeur to an otherwise ordinary street corner, reminding us of Falmouth's rich history and sense of community. The road itself is abuzz with activity - cars passing by, pedestrians strolling leisurely along the pavement, perhaps on their way to explore one of Falmouth's many attractions or simply enjoy a day out in town. The atmosphere captured in this image is unmistakably early 2000s; it exudes a certain charm that transports us back to an era before smartphones dominated our attention. Mike Hesketh-Roberts has skillfully captured not just a physical location but also a moment in time. This photograph serves as both a nostalgic reminder for those who experienced Falmouth during this period and an intriguing glimpse into its past for future generations. It encapsulates the essence of High Street - its vibrancy, diversity, and timeless appeal - making it truly deserving of preservation through Historic England
