EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a scene of rural life unfolds in the quaint village of Bolingey, nestled near the picturesque coastal town of Perranporth in Cornwall, England. The year is 1922, and the serene atmosphere is punctuated by the presence of a group of geese, their distinctive honks echoing through the air as they waddle around in the foreground. A man in work clothes, his face weathered by the elements, stands at the side of a wooden cart, likely having just returned from a day of farming. His faithful dog, a common companion in agricultural work, sits obediently by his side. The cart, laden with produce, awaits its next destination. The geese, an essential part of the local poultry farming industry, are a testament to the village's rich agricultural heritage. Their presence not only adds to the picturesque beauty of the scene but also serves as a reminder of the close relationship between the people of Bolingey and the land they have cultivated for generations. The rolling hills and verdant fields of Cornwall have long been the backdrop for a thriving agricultural community, with farming and livestock rearing being the primary sources of income for the villagers. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the rhythms of nature and the passage of the seasons shaped the daily lives of the people. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures and the deep connection between the people and the land that continues to define the character of Bolingey and Perranporth, Cornwall.
