EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Looe. The image beautifully captures the stark contrast between East and West Looe, showcasing two distinct scenes that define this charming destination. On the left side of the photograph, we are greeted by a sight straight out of a period drama. The grand Cooks Hotel stands proudly, its Victorian architecture commanding attention. A man and his trusty horse can be seen at the stables nearby, perhaps preparing for a leisurely ride along Looe's scenic trails. This glimpse into everyday life adds an authentic touch to this historical snapshot. In stark contrast on the right side of the print, we find ourselves immersed in another facet of Looe's rich heritage – Coastguards Cottages. These quaint dwellings were once home to those entrusted with safeguarding these treacherous shores against smugglers and other maritime dangers. Their sturdy construction and idyllic location overlooking West Looe Bay serve as a reminder of both past struggles and enduring resilience. The absence of any commercial references allows us to focus solely on appreciating this remarkable piece of history frozen in time. Through this photo print, we are invited to explore not only East & West Looe but also our own imagination as we envision what life must have been like during those bygone days when horses trotted along cobblestone streets and brave souls protected these rugged coastlines.
