EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant fishing community of Padstow Harbour in 1968. The scene is bustling with activity as lobster pots line the Fish Quay, awaiting their next catch. The cranes on the right-hand side, owned by Ashmead Padstow Ltd. , stand tall against the backdrop of a picturesque coastal setting. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where hardworking fishermen and women go about their daily routines with unwavering dedication. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection to the sea. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, we can almost hear the seagulls' cries and feel the salty breeze brushing against our faces. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around traditional industries like fishing. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully frames this scene, capturing not only the physical elements but also conveying an intangible essence – that unmistakable Cornish spirit. This photograph reminds us of how important it is to preserve our cultural traditions and honor those who came before us. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as both a historical record and an invitation to immerse ourselves in Cornwall's past. It invites viewers to reflect on the enduring beauty of coastal communities like Padstow Harbour while appreciating their vital role in shaping local identity.
