EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Liskeard, Cornwall in 1969. The Parade, a bustling hub of activity, is beautifully captured from the corner of Pike Street, offering a glimpse into the town's rich architectural history. On the left side of the frame stands a magnificent fountain designed by architect Henry Rice in 1871. Its intricate details and elegant design add charm to this already picturesque scene. Behind it lies Parade House, an impressive townhouse that exudes grandeur. Adjacent to it is Liskeard Public Hall at 3-5 West Street, a building that has witnessed countless community gatherings and events. To the right of The Parade are two more notable structures: The Fountain Hotel at 3 The Parade and another townhouse at 2 The Parade. These buildings not only contribute to Liskeard's architectural heritage but also serve as reminders of its lively past. The photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures this moment in time when cars with unique registrations were still seen on these streets. This photograph offers us a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through such remarkable images. With its historical significance and architectural importance, this print serves as both a testament to Liskeard's rich heritage and an invitation for viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in its charming atmosphere.
