EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the bustling fishing port of Looe in Cornwall during the 1930s. The image showcases a group of skilled carpenters diligently crafting a new mast for one of the fishing boats moored along the river Looe. Their expertise is evident as they meticulously shape and sand each piece, ensuring its perfect fit. The scene exudes an air of industriousness and craftsmanship, capturing a snapshot of the thriving fishing industry that once thrived in this coastal town. As we observe these dedicated workers, it becomes clear that their efforts were vital to sustaining the livelihoods of countless fishermen who relied on sturdy vessels for their daily catch. Amidst this maritime backdrop, other elements add depth to the photograph. A post office van parked nearby hints at the interconnectedness between different trades within this vibrant community. The iconic bridge spanning over the river serves as a reminder of Looe's rich history and its significance as both a hub for shipbuilding and trade. This evocative print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry displayed by these carpenters but also providing insight into an era when hard work was etched into every aspect of life in England's south-western coast.
