EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Daymark Tower on Gribbin Head, Tywardreath, Cornwall in 1976. Standing tall and proud against the breathtaking coastal backdrop, this square beacon was erected by Trinity House in 1832 with a noble purpose - to ensure safer navigation into Fowey and the harbours of St Austell bay. Although it never served as an active lighthouse, the tower's striking red and white bands make it a prominent daymark for sailors. Its significance is further highlighted by its Grade II listed status since 1974. Today, this historic structure is lovingly managed by the National Trust. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captured this timeless image that showcases both the natural beauty of Cornwall and the man-made marvel that is Gribbin Tower. The composition perfectly frames the tower against a clear blue sky while capturing every intricate detail of its architecture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of Cornish history frozen in a single frame. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who have navigated these treacherous waters throughout centuries. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to appreciate not only Joyce Greenham's artistic vision but also her dedication to preserving cultural landmarks through her lens.
