EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection transports us back in time to Middle Market Street, East Looe. The quaint charm of this bustling street is beautifully captured, with its narrow cobblestone lanes and traditional architecture. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a peculiar sight - washing poles protruding out of windows. In an era before modern conveniences such as washing machines and dryers, residents had devised their own ingenious methods for laundry care. These wooden poles jutting out from multiple windows tell a story of resourcefulness and community spirit. Perhaps it was a communal effort where neighbors shared these makeshift clotheslines or simply an individual's creative solution to limited space. The scene evokes nostalgia for simpler times when daily chores were carried out with patience and ingenuity. It also offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people who resided on this vibrant street, going about their daily routines amidst the backdrop of charming buildings adorned with flower boxes. The absence of any commercial presence allows us to focus solely on the essence of everyday life in East Looe during that period. This print serves as a window into history, reminding us that even mundane tasks like doing laundry can hold beauty and significance when viewed through the lens of time.
