EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Liskeard in Cornwall, capturing a nostalgic scene from 1969. The view is taken from the bottom of Castle Hill, offering a picturesque perspective along Market Street towards the junction of Pike Street and Fore Street. In this bustling street scene, we see a policeman just entering Pike Street while Fore Street stretches out to the left. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent Guildhall with its prominent clock tower, an architectural gem that was built in 1858. It proudly stands on the corner where Fore Street meets Pike Street. The foreground showcases Ough & Sons Grocer and Chemist, two thriving commercial premises that were integral to daily life in Liskeard during that era. These shops add character and authenticity to this vibrant snapshot of Cornish history. Photographer Charles Woolf has expertly captured not only the physical aspects but also the essence of this market street scene. His lens transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era filled with local charm and community spirit. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as both a visual delight for those familiar with Liskeard's past and an intriguing glimpse into history for new generations discovering this quaint Cornish town.
