EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1982 showcases the picturesque West Portholland in St Michael Caerhays, Cornwall. The image focuses on a close-up view of a limekiln, standing proudly amidst its coastal surroundings. With an intriguing blend of elements, this photograph captures the essence of this Cornish fishing village's history and charm. The limekiln takes center stage in this composition, displaying its industrial significance to the region. Its weathered stone structure stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich architectural heritage and serves as a reminder of the area's past economic activities. Nestled beside it is an old car, adding character and nostalgia to the scene. Beyond that lies a collection of boats gently swaying in sync with the rhythm of the sea. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both natural beauty and human influence along Cornwall's coastlines. The juxtaposition between rugged cliffs and man-made structures creates an intriguing visual contrast that tells stories untold by words alone. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captured this moment in time, preserving not just buildings but also emotions within his lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to 1982 when life was simpler yet equally vibrant. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to explore the unique characteristics of West Portholland while appreciating its historical importance within Cornwall's Roseland Peninsula. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amid progress and change, there will always be treasures worth cherishing from our past
