EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1975 transports us back in time to the serene beauty of Malpas Ferry cottages, nestled in the charming village of St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The lens of photographer Charles Woolf captures a picturesque view of the idyllic Ferry House and Ferryside Cottage on the Tregothnan side, overlooking the tranquil river that separates them from Malpas. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as we gaze across the water towards Malpas. The cottages stand proudly amidst lush greenery, their quaint charm reflecting a simpler way of life. It is easy to imagine families enjoying leisurely ferry crossings, relishing in the peacefulness and natural splendor surrounding them. This photograph serves as a reminder of how integral ferries were to Cornish transportation history. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into an era when these boats connected communities along rivers like Truro with ease and efficiency. As we admire this image captured by Charles Woolf's skilled eye, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era – one where joyce and greenham were likely familiar names among locals. This print not only preserves precious memories but also offers us an opportunity to appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage through its transport systems and architectural gems like Penkevil
