EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1977 takes us back in time to Henver Road, Newquay, Cornwall. The image captures a nostalgic view of the bustling street as seen from Bosuen Road, with its charming blend of roads, traffic management, and street furniture. Standing prominently on the corner is Barclays Bank, an iconic landmark that has witnessed countless stories unfold over the years. The signage displayed by K. H. J. Trethewey & Sons Ltd proudly announces new premises and two additional shops for Barclays Bank Limited. It serves as a testament to the growth and development happening within this vibrant coastal town during that era. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Charles Woolf, we are transported to an era where vehicles gracefully traversed these streets. The sight of classic cars and vintage buses evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when travel was more leisurely and unhurried. Cornwall's unique charm shines through in every detail captured within this photograph – from the distinct architecture lining the road to the natural beauty surrounding it. This glimpse into history reminds us of how much our beloved Cornish towns have evolved while still retaining their timeless allure. This print offers not only a visual feast but also invites us to reflect upon our own personal memories associated with Henver Road or similar places that hold significance in our lives. It is truly remarkable how one image can transport us across decades and evoke such profound emotions tied to our shared human experience.
