EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1982, we witness a moment of historical significance as a builder carefully places a time capsule within the walls of the Lostwithiel Community Centre project in Cornwall. The image captures the essence of community spirit and collaboration, showcasing children from Lostwithiel and St Winnow Church of England Primary Schools proudly presenting their collected items to be sealed away for future generations. Amidst the backdrop of a bustling building site, steel tubes and breeze blocks symbolize progress and construction, while also serving as guardians for this precious time capsule. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the physical labor involved in erecting such an important structure and the intangible hopes and dreams that lie within its walls. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully freezes this fleeting moment in time, preserving it for all to see at Royal Cornwall Museum. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only the act itself but also the rich history and cultural heritage that permeate every corner of Cornwall. This image is more than just documentation; it represents unity among communities as they come together to preserve their past for future generations. It serves as a reminder that our collective memories are worth cherishing and safeguarding against the relentless passage of time
