EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the quaint and idyllic village of Luckett, nestled in the heart of Cornwall. Taken in 1966 by the talented photographer Charles Woolf, this image showcases a picturesque scene that exudes charm and tranquility. The focus of the photograph is on a cluster of charming cottages, their stone walls weathered by time and history. These humble abodes stand as a testament to the enduring spirit of Cornish heritage. The vibrant greenery surrounding them adds an enchanting touch, creating a harmonious blend between man-made structures and nature's beauty. Taken from the mine set of New Great Consols Mine (now disused), this photograph offers a glimpse into Cornwall's rich mining history. In the distance, we can spot an engine house and chimney rising above the horizon, serving as reminders of past industrial endeavors that once shaped this region. As our eyes wander across this image, we are transported to another era where simplicity reigned supreme. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when life moved at a slower pace; where neighbors knew each other by name and community bonds were strong. This remarkable print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a poignant reminder of Cornwall's cultural heritage. It captures not only buildings but also emotions - joyous memories shared amongst friends or families who called these cottages home. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, it stands as an homage to Charles Woolf's skillful eye for capturing moments frozen in
