EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Liskeard, Cornwall in 1969. The lens of photographer Charles Woolf beautifully captures a timeless scene along West Street, as we gaze eastwards towards The Parade. The image transports us to an era where life seemed simpler, yet no less vibrant. The narrow street is lined with picturesque buildings that exude Cornish charm and character. Each structure tells its own story, standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear sky. As we explore this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details adorning these historic facades – ornate windows framed by delicate curtains, flower boxes bursting with colorful blooms cascading down stone walls, and quaint signs inviting passersby into local shops. While the absence of bustling crowds may hint at a quiet moment captured by Woolf's lens, one can almost imagine the soundscape that would accompany such a lively street: footsteps echoing on cobblestones, snippets of conversation carried on gentle breezes, and perhaps even distant laughter from nearby cafes. This evocative photograph not only showcases Liskeard's architectural beauty but also serves as a poignant reminder of how towns evolve over time while still retaining their unique essence. It invites viewers to step into history for just a moment and appreciate the enduring allure of this enchanting Cornish town.
