EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Churchtown, St Keverne, Cornwall, before the year 1907. The image captures a picturesque scene of the square in St Keverne Churchtown from the southwest angle. Standing tall and majestic is the church tower, still devoid of its iconic clock that would be installed later that year. In this bustling snapshot of history, we see life unfolding before our eyes. On the right-hand side of the frame, a lady gracefully pushes her bicycle along the cobbled street. Her presence adds a touch of elegance to an otherwise rustic setting. As we shift our gaze towards the center of attention, two horse-drawn carts come into view. These sturdy vehicles are making their way towards the church with purposeful determination. They serve as a reminder of how transportation used to rely on horsepower rather than engines. The identity of the photographer remains unknown but their skill in capturing this momentous slice-of-life is undeniable. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported back to an era when simplicity reigned supreme and daily life unfolded at a slower pace. Preserved within these pixels lies not just an image but also a glimpse into Cornwall's rich heritage and cultural tapestry. This print serves as both a testament to human progress over time and an homage to those who once walked these very streets.
