EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating floods that struck Lostwithiel, Cornwall on the 28th of December, 1979. The Tudor bridge and war memorial stand as silent witnesses to the destructive power of nature. Lostwithiel has long grappled with flooding issues, particularly in properties located near the River Fowey. The image showcases a scene of chaos and despair as floodwaters engulf the town, leaving its residents vulnerable and displaced. The river's relentless force is evident as it engulfs everything in its path, including a digger stranded amidst the deluge. Lostwithiel's historic milk factory can be seen in the background, serving as a reminder of both industry and resilience within this Cornish community. Despite ongoing efforts to implement flood prevention schemes over the years, success has been only partial. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this momentous event with his lens, freezing time to immortalize an important chapter in Lostwithiel's history. This photograph serves not only as a record but also as a testament to human perseverance against natural forces beyond our control. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this powerful image invites viewers to reflect upon our relationship with nature and highlights the importance of continued efforts towards effective flood management strategies for vulnerable communities like Lostwithiel along River Fowey.
