EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print from the Raddy Collection, we are transported back in time to the junction of Castle Street and Fore Street in East Looe. The focal point of the image is Scantlebury & Son, a once bustling shop that now appears hauntingly empty. Its shelves, once filled with an array of goods and treasures, now stand bare and devoid of life. The atmosphere captured in this photograph is palpable; it evokes a sense of melancholy as we observe an unhappy woman standing outside the desolate store. Her downturned gaze suggests disappointment or perhaps even resignation. What could have led to such emptiness? Was it changing times or unforeseen circumstances that forced this establishment into abandonment? As our eyes wander beyond the forlorn figure, we notice other details that add depth to the scene. The architecture surrounding Scantlebury & Son reflects a bygone era, with its charming stone buildings and quaint cobblestone streets. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly things can change over time. It invites us to reflect on the ebb and flow of life's fortunes while also igniting our curiosity about what stories lie behind closed doors
