EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the rustic charm of Capstan House, a former garage located in Polyphant, Lewannick, Cornwall. Taken in 1978 by the talented photographer Charles Woolf, this image showcases an idyllic countryside scene. The focal point of the photograph is the slate-roofed farm building that once served as a garage. Situated near Polyphant Village Green, it exudes a sense of history and character. The weathered stone walls and traditional architecture speak to Cornwall's rich heritage and agricultural roots. In front of the farm building stands a vintage car with the registration number HDR 963F. Believed to be a Triumph Herald, this classic vehicle adds another layer of nostalgia to the composition. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when rural communities relied on such garages for their transportation needs. The wider view reveals a charming driveway leading up to Capstan House itself. Surrounded by lush greenery and framed by Cornish countryside, this octagonal structure stands proudly amidst its natural surroundings. This evocative print transports viewers back in time to experience life in rural Cornwall during 1978. It beautifully encapsulates elements like farming, agriculture, and architectural beauty while showcasing how these structures were integral parts of local communities. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this photograph truly captures the essence of Cornwall's past without mentioning any commercial use associated with it
