EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in the year 1964, two elegant women proudly stand in front of the historic letterbox at Cranmere Pool on Dartmoor, Devon. Dressed in fashionable 1960s attire, the women don stylish dresses with intricate patterns and matching stockings, adding a touch of sophistication to the rural setting. The anniversary year of 1964 marked 110 years since the establishment of the first letterbox on Dartmoor, making this a significant moment in the history of this famous place. The women's dresses, with their full skirts and cinched waists, evoke the spirit of the 1960s, a time of change and progress. The muddy ground around the letterbox, a testament to the wet and wild terrain of Dartmoor, contrasts sharply with the women's pristine outfits, creating a striking juxtaposition. The open letterbox, inviting letters to be posted, stands proudly on a rock, surrounded by the tranquil waters of Cranmere Pool. The letterbox at Cranmere Pool is a symbol of the unique communications history of Dartmoor. Established in 1854, it was the first of its kind on the moor, providing a vital link between the isolated communities scattered across the rugged landscape. The letterbox, with its simple yet enduring design, has stood the test of time, remaining an important part of the area's rich history. As the women smile for the camera, they embody the spirit of the past and the present, celebrating the history of this special place while also embracing the modern world of the 1960s. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of Cranmere Pool and the importance of the simple pleasure of sending and receiving letters.
