EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two young men are seen diligently working on thatching a roof at Lamorna Cove in Penwith, Cornwall, during the 1960s. The idyllic setting of the Cornish coastline, with its rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters, provides a picturesque backdrop to their traditional trade. The men, dressed in worn work clothes and hats, are perched precariously on a ladder, their focus intently fixed on the task at hand. The thatch, made of straw or reeds, is meticulously laid out and secured to the roof with skill and dexterity. The intricate weaving pattern is a testament to the time-honored craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. Thatching was once a common practice in rural areas of the UK, particularly in Cornwall, where the mild climate and abundance of suitable materials made it an ideal roofing solution. However, with the advent of modern roofing materials, the trade has become increasingly rare. This photograph captures a moment in time when the traditional skill of thatching was still alive and well in the Cornish countryside. The scene exudes a sense of timelessness and tranquility, as the men work in harmony with the natural elements. The sun casts dappled shadows across the roof, adding depth and texture to the image. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore in the background adds to the serene atmosphere, making this photograph a beautiful reminder of a bygone era. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cornwall and the importance of preserving traditional skills and trades. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, and a reminder of the beauty and resilience of the Cornish landscape and its people.
