EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1968, capturing a significant piece of Cornwall's industrial history. The image showcases "The Brickworks, Carbis, Roche" an iconic landmark that stood proudly amidst the Cornish landscape. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully frames the scene from the road, allowing us to marvel at this architectural masterpiece. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the towering brick chimney and imposing kiln structures that dominate the foreground. These structures symbolize not only Cornwall's thriving brick industry but also its rich heritage in china clay production. The juxtaposition of these man-made elements against nature's backdrop creates a striking visual contrast. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we can almost hear echoes of bustling activity and feel a sense of pride emanating from those who worked within these walls. This image serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work throughout generations. It is worth noting that this particular print was curated by renowned artist Joyce Greenham for display at Royal Cornwall Museum. Through her lens, she masterfully captures both the grandeur and intricacies of this historic site. While it is important to acknowledge this photograph's significance in documenting Cornwall's industrial past, it is equally crucial not to overlook its artistic value as well. As viewers immerse themselves in its details and contemplate its historical context, they are transported back in time—a true testament to photography's ability to preserve memories for generations to come.
