EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1973 takes us back in time to St Stephens Hill in Newport, Launceston, Cornwall. The view captures the essence of this historic town with its charming architecture and rich heritage. As we gaze down St Stephens Hill, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent Newport Market House standing proudly at the end of the street. The Market House, also known as Market Hall, was constructed in 1829 and served as a home for the ancient market cross. Its elegant design adds character to the scene and reminds us of Launceston's bustling past. In the background, we catch a glimpse of both Launceston Castle and church, further emphasizing the town's historical significance. As we explore this snapshot from decades ago, it is fascinating to observe how cars were parked along the street during that era. These vintage vehicles contribute to an atmosphere filled with nostalgia and transport us back to simpler times. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captured this image, showcasing his talent for preserving moments frozen in time. This print serves as a valuable piece of history that allows us to appreciate Cornwall's unique charm and architectural beauty.
