EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Looe, Cornwall, circa 1930. The focal point of this image is none other than the iconic Banjo Pier, a true marvel of engineering and a testament to human creativity. As we gaze upon this GWR publicity view, it becomes evident why it earned its name - resembling a banjo when seen from above. Stretching out into the vast expanse of the Looe River, this pier serves as both a functional structure and an architectural wonder. Its purpose? To separate East Looe Beach from the bustling river that flows through this charming coastal town. The scene captured here transports us to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. With its quaint buildings lining the coast and boats gently bobbing in the water nearby, one can almost hear echoes of laughter and feel the warmth of community spirit. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that history has shaped our present-day reality. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment but also tells tales untold - stories of fishermen casting their nets into these very waters or families strolling along East Looe Beach on lazy summer afternoons. Let us cherish this glimpse into yesteryears as we appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who laid down foundations for progress and innovation.
