EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Time Gone By: Donkeys of Clovelly, Devon - 1960s" In this evocative photograph, two donkeys stand patiently outside a quaint souvenir shop in the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly, Devon. The image transports us back to the 1960s, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the charm of the English countryside was a draw for visitors from far and wide. The donkeys, with their shaggy coats and expressive eyes, seem to embody the spirit of the era. Their saddles, bridles, and harnesses, adorned with whitewash, add to the rustic charm of the scene. The shop, filled with postcards, displays of local gifts, and other souvenirs, invites passersby to take a piece of Clovelly's history home with them. The cobblestone street, lined with whitewashed buildings and colorful doors, remains largely unchanged since the 1960s, offering a glimpse into the past. The donkeys, a long-standing tradition in the village, continue to carry tourists up the steep, winding streets, providing a unique and memorable experience. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when life was simpler and the connection between people and animals was stronger. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and charm that can still be found in the quaint villages and towns of the English West Country.
