EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph taken in the 1960s, a mother from the picturesque village of Madron, near Penzance in Cornwall, is seen leading her two children to school in a traditional pony and trap. The image captures a moment of simple joy and everyday life in a bygone era. The mother, dressed in a floral print dress and wearing a headscarf, sits confidently on the cart, holding the reins in one hand and guiding her children, both smiling and dressed in their school uniforms, into the cart with the other. The children seem excited and a little apprehensive, their eyes filled with curiosity as they embark on their journey to school. The scene is set against a backdrop of quintessential Cornish countryside, with a stone wall and a charming building visible in the background. The pony, with its ears pricked and tail held high, appears calm and obedient, adding to the idyllic atmosphere of the moment. The children's school bags and books are neatly arranged on the cart, ready for the day's lessons. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and families relied on the simple pleasures of nature to get by. The use of a pony and trap was a common mode of transport in rural areas of Cornwall during the 1960s, and this image offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives of families in this charming region. The warm smiles on the faces of the mother and children add to the sense of happiness and contentment, making this a truly heartwarming and timeless image.
