Fine Art Print : The eastern end of Fore Street, St Austell, Cornwall. 1970
Fine Art Prints From Royal Cornwall Museum
The eastern end of Fore Street, St Austell, Cornwall. 1970
Fore street at the junction with North Street (with a car approaching the junction), Market Street and Church Street, where the photograph is taken from. Holy Trinity Church and churchyard are just out of picture to the right. The corner of the building with " To Car Park" attached is above the former site of the Mengu Stone from Menacuddle Street which is now in the churchyard. The Mengu Stone has always been noted as marking the boundary point of the three manors of Trenance, Treverbyn and Tewington listed in the Domesday Survey. St Austell as a settlement did not exist in 1086 - only the manor lands were recorded. The name of the first settlement here was Trenance or Trenance Austol. Photographer: Charles Woolf

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1970, capturing a moment frozen in time at the eastern end of Fore Street in St Austell, Cornwall. The bustling intersection where Fore Street meets North Street, Market Street, and Church Street is the focal point of this image. A vintage car approaches the junction, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. To the right of this vibrant street corner lies Holy Trinity Church and its churchyard, just out of frame. Above what used to be the site of the Mengu Stone from Menacuddle Street stands a building with a sign that reads "To Car Park". This stone has always been significant as it marked the boundary point for three manors: Trenance, Treverbyn, and Tewington - all listed in the Domesday Survey dating back to 1086. Interestingly enough, St Austell itself did not exist as a settlement during that time; only its manor lands were recorded. The original name for this area was Trenance or Trenance Austol. The photographer responsible for capturing this slice of history is Charles Woolf. His lens skillfully immortalizes an era long gone but forever cherished by those who remember it fondly. This remarkable print now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection - an invaluable piece preserving our heritage and offering glimpses into our past.
