EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1978 takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Porthoustock, nestled within the stunning Cornish Lizard Peninsula. The image showcases the remains of a quarry jetty, standing as a testament to the area's rich industrial history. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to several individuals gathered at the water's edge, their presence adding life and scale to the photograph. The tranquil coastal setting is further enhanced by small boats gently resting on the shore. Among them, FH156 and FH124 stand out with their distinct charm and character. These vessels seem frozen in time, evoking memories of past adventures and maritime endeavors. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures this moment in all its natural beauty. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance - from the rugged coastline stretching into infinity, to the shimmering sea that beckons exploration. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from yesteryear, it becomes evident that Porthoustock was not only an industrial hub but also a place where joyous moments were shared amidst breathtaking scenery. This print transports us back four decades ago when Cornwall's coastal villages thrived with activity while maintaining their unique allure
