EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection transports us back in time to East Looe Quay, a place steeped in history. The image showcases the site of the old sail loft, serving as a remarkable visual aid for historical comparison. Interestingly, this particular snapshot highlights an intriguing absence - that of Charles Mavin Sail Loft. As we delve into the past through this photograph, it becomes evident that East Looe Quay was once bustling with maritime activity. Ships would dock here after their long voyages across treacherous seas, seeking refuge and repair. The sail loft played a pivotal role during those times; it was where skilled craftsmen meticulously stitched together sails to ensure smooth navigation and successful expeditions. However, what sets this image apart is its exclusion of Charles Mavin Sail Loft. Perhaps it had not yet been established at the time when this picture was taken or had already ceased operations by then. Regardless, this omission adds an extra layer of intrigue and invites us to explore further into the rich tapestry of East Looe's maritime heritage. Through such glimpses into our past captured by photographers like Raddy Collection, we are reminded of how landscapes evolve over time while preserving fragments of their former glory. This print serves as both a window to history and an invitation for contemplation on how places change while still retaining echoes of their storied pasts.
