EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, in the year 1967. The lens captures a picturesque view along Fore Street, where time seems to have stood still. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the iconic Star Inn on the left side of the street. Its quaint exterior exudes an old-world charm that transports us back to simpler times. Across from the inn stands a chemist shop, its presence adding another layer of authenticity to this snapshot of village life. The buildings lining both sides of Fore Street showcase traditional Cornish architecture at its finest – stone facades with small windows and sloping roofs that seem perfectly attuned with their surroundings. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Charles Woolf, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment forever. Through his lens, he captures not just bricks and mortar but also a sense of community and history embedded within these walls. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, we can't help but imagine locals going about their daily lives - perhaps popping into one of these shops or enjoying a pint at the Star Inn after a long day's work. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst changing times, some places manage to retain their essence and preserve cherished traditions. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum alongside other works by notable photographers such as Joyce Greenham and Curnow, it stands as testament to Cornwall's rich cultural heritage captured
