EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from November 1988 takes us back to the charming town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall. The focal point of the image is a towering crane, strategically positioned to block Fore Street. Its presence serves a purpose - repairs are underway on the roof of the iconic Lloyds Bank building that stands proudly in this historic town. The photograph captures a peaceful Sunday morning scene, with minimal disruption to traffic as intended by those responsible for planning these essential renovations. It showcases both the efficiency and consideration put into completing such work without inconveniencing locals and visitors alike. In addition to the crane and scaffolding dominating the foreground, one cannot miss noticing an elegant black horse gracefully standing nearby. This majestic creature adds an unexpected touch of beauty amidst what would otherwise be considered mundane construction equipment. Photographer Jonathan Barker has skillfully captured this moment in time, freezing it forever within this remarkable print. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only a specific event but also reflects upon Lostwithiel's rich history and its commitment to preserving its architectural heritage. This photograph reminds us that even during times of repair and restoration, there is still beauty to be found amongst scaffolding and machinery. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to seamlessly blend progress with tradition.
