EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from 1904, showcasing a lively beach scene at East Looe, Cornwall. The image transports us to an era where children gleefully filled the sandy shores, their laughter echoing through the air. With hats donned and sleeves rolled up, these young adventurers wasted no time immersing themselves in the joys of paddling, playing, and exploring. In the background lies a picturesque view of East Looe itself, complete with its iconic lifeboat station standing tall against the horizon. This snapshot captures not only the carefree spirit of childhood but also provides a glimpse into daily life in this coastal town over a century ago. The details within this photograph are truly remarkable - fishing boats dotting the shoreline as local fishermen prepare their nets for another day's work. A horse-drawn cart trundles along nearby, perhaps carrying freshly caught fish or supplies for those enjoying their leisurely day by the sea. Preserved by photographer Herbert Hughes' skilled lens, this slice of history reminds us of simpler times when nature's playground was enough to captivate hearts and minds. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and offers an enchanting window into days gone by.
