EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the quaint village of St Tudy in Cornwall, circa 1959. The image beautifully captures the essence of this Cornish gem, with its idyllic charm and timeless appeal. On the left side stands the magnificent church tower, a symbol of faith and tradition that has watched over generations of villagers. To the right, we see a charming grocery shop, likely bustling with locals going about their daily routines. The photographer, Charles Woolf, skillfully frames this scene from a reverse perspective, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the heart of St Tudy's picturesque streetscape. The black and white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting every intricate detail - from the cobblestone paths to the rustic architecture. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to imagine life as it was then: children playing joyfully on these very streets; neighbors exchanging warm greetings; perhaps even indulging in Lyons tea and cakes at one of those inviting shops nearby. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact - preserving precious memories for future generations. It reminds us that beyond its natural beauty lies a community rich in heritage and culture. Let us cherish this glimpse into St Tudy's past without forgetting its significance today – not just commercially but as part of Cornwall's vibrant tapestry.
