Coves Fishing Villages Harbours South Coast Holidaymakers Industrial Buildings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque coastal village of Polkerris in Cornwall, circa 1975. The image beautifully captures a general view of the cove, with its pristine sandy beach adorned by cheerful holidaymakers enjoying the sun-kissed shores. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the right side where ancient pilchard cellars stand tall, their weathered walls telling tales of a rich fishing heritage that once thrived here. Beyond these historic structures lie charming village buildings nestled amidst lush greenery, creating a delightful backdrop against the azure waters of the South Coast. It is as if time has stood still in this idyllic Cornish haven, preserving its authentic charm and tranquility for generations to come. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully encapsulates not only the natural beauty but also hints at an industrial past through his lens. Though subtle and unobtrusive, distant glimpses of industrial buildings remind us that behind this serene facade lies a history deeply rooted in maritime trade and commerce. In this single frame, Polkerris reveals itself as more than just another coastal gem; it embodies the essence of Cornwall's unique blend of rugged landscapes and quaint fishing villages. This remarkable photograph invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless allure while igniting our curiosity about what stories may have unfolded within these very walls throughout centuries gone by.
