EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque countryside of Lanarth, St Keverne in Cornwall during the year 1971. The focal point of this enchanting image is a charming thatched cob building nestled by the roadside. Its traditional architecture exudes an undeniable Cornish charm, transporting us to a simpler time when life revolved around agriculture and close-knit communities. The thatched roof stands proudly atop the cob walls, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship involved in its construction. Tools, including pick axes, hang outside by the entrance - silent witnesses to years of hard work and dedication poured into maintaining this humble abode. They serve as a reminder of the laborious efforts required to sustain rural life in those times. Photographer Charles Woolf has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty of this structure but also its historical significance within Cornish culture. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for a way of life deeply rooted in tradition and connection with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community was at the heart of everything. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernization, it is crucial to preserve our heritage and appreciate these architectural gems that tell stories untold.
