EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: Clovelly Harbour in the Late 1960s, Devon, England. Step back in time with this evocative black-and-white photograph of Clovelly Harbour in Devon, England, captured in the late 1960s. This charming image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quaint fishing village as it once was, before the onset of modern tourism. The harbour, nestled between the red-roofed cottages and the rugged cliffs, is a hive of activity. Small fishing boats, their masts and rigging silhouetted against the grey sky, are moored alongside the stone quay. Seagulls cry overhead, while fishermen in traditional attire, clad in woolen jumpers and sou'westers, load and unload their catch. The cobbled streets, lined with quaint shops and whitewashed cottages, remain untouched by the passage of time. The village, which has remained largely unchanged since the 18th century, is accessible only on foot or by donkey, adding to its unique character and allure. The tranquil atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of motorized vehicles. Instead, donkeys and sledges are used to transport goods and supplies up and down the steep, winding streets. This photograph, with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal, invites us to imagine a simpler way of life, one where the rhythm of the sea and the changing seasons dictate the pace of daily life. It is a reminder of the rich history and enduring beauty of Clovelly Harbour and the surrounding village, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of the past. Whether you're an armchair traveler or planning a visit to this picturesque corner of Devon, this photograph is sure to transport you to a bygone era and leave you with a lasting impression of Clovelly Harbour in the late 1960s.
