EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Market Street in Penryn, Cornwall, circa 1973. With its timeless charm and nostalgic ambiance, it offers a glimpse into the vibrant past of this quaint Cornish town. The photographer, Charles Woolf, skillfully captures a view from Market Street towards the iconic Kings Arms in Broad Street. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are greeted by an array of local businesses that once thrived in this lively community. In the foreground stands The Carpet Centre with its inviting display of rugs and carpets. Next to it is J. Hewitt Newsagent, where locals would gather to catch up on current events while sipping their morning coffee. The Gem Cafe adds a touch of warmth and nostalgia with its cozy atmosphere and tantalizing aromas wafting through its doors. It's easy to imagine friends sharing laughter over cups of tea or indulging in delicious homemade treats. Market Street itself exudes character with its cobblestone pavement and charming storefronts adorned with colorful signage. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of small-town life during that era - a sense of community spirit mixed with everyday hustle and bustle. Thanks to this remarkable print preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, we can transport ourselves back in time for just a moment; immersing ourselves in the sights and sounds that once filled these streets - reminding us how even seemingly ordinary moments hold extraordinary stories within them.
