EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque coastal village of Kingsand, nestled within Cornwall's enchanting Rame Peninsula. The year is 1962, and photographer Charles Woolf has skillfully captured a timeless scene along the Cleave, where the Devonport Inn proudly stands as a sentinel overlooking the beach. In this idyllic setting, small boats gently sway on their moorings upon the soft sand. Their colorful hulls create a delightful contrast against the monochromatic backdrop. The tranquility of this moment is palpable; it evokes a sense of serenity that can only be found in such close-knit coastal communities. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves strolling along with Joyce Greenham on her leisurely promenade. The salty breeze caresses our faces while seagulls glide gracefully overhead, their calls echoing through the air. The charm of Kingsand is undeniable; its quaint streets lined with charming cottages seem to whisper tales from centuries past. This photograph transports us to an era when life was simpler and moments like these were cherished above all else. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this image serves as a visual portal into Cornwall's rich heritage and natural beauty. It encapsulates not just a place but also emotions - joy, nostalgia, and reverence for nature's wonders - reminding us why coastal villages like Kingsand hold such enduring appeal for generations to come.
