EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the quaint and charming Market Square in St Just, Penwith, Cornwall. The year is 1967, and as we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era of simplicity and community. In the foreground of the image, we see a picturesque church standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its stone walls exude history and spirituality, reminding us of the deep-rooted traditions that have shaped this village for centuries. Our attention then shifts to the right-hand corner of Market Square, where a cluster of shops adds vibrancy to this idyllic scene. Warren and Son bakers tempt passersby with their freshly baked goods while Angwin Brothers butchers display their finest cuts of meat. It's fascinating to learn that this very butcher shop was once home to Capital and Counties Bank - a testament to how times change. The Wellington Hotel stands tall on one side, offering weary travelers respite from their journeys through Cornwall's rugged landscapes. Andys Gift Shop entices visitors with its array of trinkets and treasures - perhaps holding memories waiting to be made by those who wander inside. Photographer Charles Woolf has expertly captured not just buildings or shop fronts but also a sense of joyce Greenham's beloved village. This photograph invites us into its embrace, allowing us glimpses into everyday life during simpler times when community spirit thrived within these historic walls
