EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of the First and Last Postman at Lands End, Cornwall, in 1964. The postman, dressed in his iconic red uniform and peaked cap, is seen standing on the windswept clifftop at the westerly point of England, where the land meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. With a determined look on his face, he empties the mailbag that he had filled with letters and parcels from the nearby villages and hamlets, preparing to begin his daily journey along the rugged coastline. The emptiness of the bag symbolizes the isolation and unique challenges of delivering mail in this remote and unusual location. The photograph, taken in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the postman was a familiar and essential figure in the daily lives of rural communities. The image captures the raw beauty of the Cornish landscape and the resilience of the postman, who braved the elements to ensure that the people of Lands End remained connected to the rest of the world.
