EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of Rosehill in Lanivet, Cornwall, frozen in time during the year 1967. The view captured by photographer Charles Woolf offers a glimpse into the past as we stand on Rosehill and gaze westward down the hill towards Lamorick nestled peacefully in the valley below. In this snapshot from history, we witness a significant moment for transportation in Cornwall. At that time, this very road was known as the A30, serving as the main artery connecting communities throughout this beautiful region. Today, it has transformed into what is now recognized as the A389. The photograph also reveals an intriguing feature known locally as The old Coach Road meandering over the distant hills. This charming path holds its own story within these rolling landscapes; perhaps once trodden by horse-drawn carriages or weary travelers seeking respite along their journey. Joyce Greenham's Cornish village comes alive through this image – a testament to both her love for her home and Charles Woolf's keen eye behind his camera lens. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back to simpler times when life moved at a slower pace amidst nature's splendor.
