EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1972 takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Lanlivery in Cornwall. Standing proudly amidst the quaint surroundings is "The Old Post Office" a small yet charming building that exudes character and history. Its shuttered window, adorned with a weathered sign, reveals its former purpose as a general dealer licensed to sell tobacco. Photographer Charles Woolf has skillfully captured the essence of this Cornish gem, showcasing not only the architectural beauty but also preserving a moment frozen in time. The image transports us to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community spirit thrived. Lanlivery itself seems untouched by modernity, with its idyllic setting nestled amongst rolling green hills. One can almost imagine the sound of laughter echoing through its narrow streets and envision locals going about their daily lives with joyous contentment. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of how photography serves as a powerful tool for preserving heritage and capturing fleeting moments that might otherwise be forgotten. Thanks to Royal Cornwall Museum's dedication to safeguarding such treasures, we have been granted access to this snapshot from history—a glimpse into Lanlivery's past that evokes nostalgia and curiosity alike. Let this image transport you back in time; immerse yourself in the charm of Lanlivery and appreciate the rich tapestry woven by generations before us.
