EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the carefree spirit of childhood during the 1960s in the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, Cornwall. The image, set against the backdrop of the historic harbor in St. Austell, showcases a group of children exploring the rocky shoreline and playing around the colorful boats and buildings. The children, dressed in clothing typical of the era, are seen climbing the ladders and steps leading down to the harbor, while others wade in the shallow water or fish from the dock. The boats, with their vibrant colors and intricate designs, add to the charm of the scene, as do the quaint buildings that line the harbor. Mevagissey, with its rich fishing history, has long been a popular holiday destination for families seeking a traditional seaside experience. The village, nestled along the Cornish coast, offers visitors a glimpse into the past, with its narrow streets, charming cottages, and working harbor. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and carefree days by the sea. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the British coast and the joy that can be found in the simple things in life, like a day at the beach with the ones we love.
