EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the late 1890s, showcasing Higher Market Street in East Looe, Cornwall. The image takes us on a journey down the hill from St Mary's Church, offering a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of yesteryears. Captured by Surgeon Captain John Campbell, an accomplished photographer of his time, this snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of a bygone era. As we delve into the details of this historic scene, our eyes are drawn to a prominent feature - a towering chimney that proudly punctuates the skyline. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich industrial heritage and its reliance on mining during this period. The charm lies not only in the physical structures but also in the people who inhabit them. Although unseen within this particular frame, one can imagine locals going about their daily lives - merchants tending to their shops and residents strolling along these cobbled streets. Preserved for over a century at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers us an invaluable window into history. It serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of how much has changed since those days gone by. So take a moment to immerse yourself in this enchanting photograph; let your imagination wander through time as you explore Higher Market Street and envision what life was like amidst its vibrant community all those years ago.
