EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque countryside of North Hill, Cornwall in 1964. The focal point of the image is a charming lane that winds its way through this idyllic rural landscape. Alongside it stands a Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse, proudly showcasing its timeless beauty and architectural heritage. Photographed by Charles Woolf, this snapshot captures the essence of vernacular architecture prevalent in this region. The farmhouse exudes an aura of history and tradition, with its sturdy stone walls and thatched roof standing as testaments to centuries gone by. It serves as a reminder of the rich farming heritage that has shaped these lands for generations. Surrounded by lush green fields dotted with grazing livestock, West Castick radiates tranquility and harmony with nature. This scene evokes a sense of serenity and simplicity often associated with Cornish countryside living. As we gaze upon this photograph from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, we are transported into an era where time seemed to move at a slower pace. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of our surroundings but also the resilience and craftsmanship displayed in these rural houses. The presence of West Castick reminds us that amidst modernization, there are still pockets where history remains alive within our landscapes – places like North Hill continue to preserve their unique character while embracing progress on their own terms.
