EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1967, capturing a timeless scene at Capstan House, Hendra Farm in Pelynt, Cornwall. The focus of this image is the charming capstan house itself, standing proudly amidst the picturesque farm landscape. Its unique octagonal slate roof adds an element of architectural intrigue to this traditional structure. The photographer, Charles Woolf, skillfully captures every detail of this rustic gem. The wooden doors stand slightly ajar as if inviting us into a world where time moves at its own gentle pace. One can almost imagine the sounds of bustling activity that once emanated from within these walls - farmers tending to their livestock or preparing for another day's work on the fertile Cornish land. This print not only showcases the beauty of rural Cornwall but also pays homage to its rich agricultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of how farming and agriculture have long been integral parts of Cornish life - sustaining communities and shaping landscapes for generations. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when simplicity reigned supreme and hard work was celebrated. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for those who dedicated their lives to cultivating the land with unwavering dedication. Thanks to Royal Cornwall Museum's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to glimpse into our past through photographs like these – capturing moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
