This print takes us back to the charming streets of Launceston, Cornwall in 1959. The image captures a bustling scene on the corner of Broad Street and Church Gate Street, where various shops line the sidewalks. Among them, we can spot a hairdresser's salon, a shoe shop, Blake & Son store, Millbay laundry service, and Orange tea rooms. However, what truly brings this snapshot to life are the four children scattered across the street. A young boy wearing goggles sits confidently on his tricycle as he explores his surroundings with curiosity. Meanwhile, a little girl dressed in an exquisite party dress gently pushes her doll's pram along the pavement. Photographer Charles Woolf has masterfully frozen this moment in time for us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of these historic commercial buildings but also glimpse into Cornish culture during that era. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when towns like Launceston were vibrant centers of community life. The details captured within this photograph offer glimpses into both children's toys and fashion trends at that time—showcasing how joyous playtime was even amidst daily routines.
