EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a lively Cornish wrestling match in 1970. The image showcases a large crowd of enthusiastic spectators gathered at an unknown location in Cornwall, eagerly anticipating the thrilling display of this traditional sport. The open-air setting adds to the charm and authenticity of the event, with cars parked around the perimeter of the ring and an open marquee providing shelter for both wrestlers and onlookers alike. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures the energy and excitement radiating from every corner. Cornish wrestling, deeply rooted in local heritage, has long been cherished as a beloved form of entertainment in Cornwall. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates that joyous atmosphere as people gather together to witness skilled wrestlers engage in fierce competition. Amongst the sea of faces captured by Woolf's lens are glimpses of classic vehicles such as Austin Triumphs and Minis, each bearing their unique registration plates including GCV416D, FOD131D, 246WAF, and DTC434B. These details serve as nostalgic reminders not only of a specific time but also reflect how deeply ingrained this sport is within Cornish culture. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports viewers back to that momentous day when locals came together to celebrate their heritage through spirited bouts of Cornish wrestling – an enduring testament to tradition, community spirit, and sporting excellence.
