EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1968 transports us back in time to the quaint village of Jacobstow in Cornwall. Standing proudly at a road junction, we see a charming slate-hung house that serves as Lloyds Bank. Its traditional architecture exudes an air of elegance and history, perfectly blending with the surrounding countryside. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of a Shell petrol station on one side, reminding us of simpler times when cars were fewer but still held their significance. A few vehicles can be seen parked on the far left, adding a touch of movement to an otherwise serene setting. Photographed by Charles Woolf, this image captures not just the physical beauty of Wainhouse Corner but also its timeless essence. The attention to detail and composition highlight Woolf's skill as he expertly frames this slice of Cornish life. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how places evolve over decades while retaining their unique character. This photograph serves as both a historical document and a testament to the enduring charm found within rural communities like Jacobstow. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print allows us to appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage through the lens of one talented photographer who captured its essence so beautifully.
