EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection showcases a historically significant scene of East and West Looe as seen from the sea. Published in 1827, this sketch offers a remarkable glimpse into the past, highlighting various elements that played crucial roles in shaping these coastal towns. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the defensive sea wall, standing tall and resolute against the crashing waves. This formidable structure served as a vital line of defense for both East and West Looe, protecting them from fierce storms and potential invasions throughout history. Its presence symbolizes the resilience and determination of these communities to safeguard their homes. Accompanying the sea wall are groynes strategically placed along the shoreline. These wooden barriers were designed to control erosion by trapping sand and preventing it from being washed away by strong currents. Their inclusion in this sketch underscores not only an understanding of coastal engineering but also highlights how human intervention has shaped these landscapes over time. Lastly, we cannot overlook the bustling harbor depicted in this print. Serving as a hub for maritime activities such as fishing, trade, and transportation, it was at once a lifeline for economic prosperity while also connecting East and West Looe with other parts of Britain and beyond. In summary, this remarkable print captures an important moment in history when defensive structures like sea walls stood firm against nature's forces while harbors facilitated commerce between distant shores. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and adaptability when faced with challenges posed by
