EDITORS COMMENTS
West Looe, Cornwall, 1950s: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of West Looe, Cornwall, as it looked in the 1950s. The image, taken from the eastern bank of the River Looe, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the history of this charming Cornish town. In medieval times, West Looe and East Looe were two distinct towns, each with its own unique character and identity. The towns were separated by the meandering River Looe, which provided a natural barrier between them. However, over the centuries, the two communities grew closer, and in the 19th century, a bridge was built to connect them. In this photograph, the bridge is a prominent feature, linking the two banks of the river and allowing for easy passage between the towns. Boats are moored along the quayside, their masts casting long shadows on the cobbled streets. The harbor, bustling with activity, is a hive of industry and commerce, with fishermen unloading their catch and merchants hawking their wares. Despite the signs of activity, there is a sense of tranquility and timelessness in the image. The rugged cliffs and craggy shoreline, dotted with colorful cottages, are a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who have called this place home for centuries. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to a era when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of daily life were cherished. The scene is quintessentially Cornish, with its rugged beauty, rich history, and enduring spirit. This image is a reminder of the past, and a celebration of the unique character and charm of West Looe, Cornwall.
