EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque landscape of Padstow, Cornwall in 1979. The focal point is Capstan House, a charming rural building nestled within the idyllic St Cadoc Farm. Photographer Charles Woolf has expertly captured the essence of traditional farm architecture in this Cornish gem. The image transports us to a simpler time, where life revolved around the land and its bountiful offerings. The sturdy stone walls of Capstan House stand proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush green fields. Its thatched roof adds an extra touch of rustic charm, evoking feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the echoes of laughter and hard work that once filled these grounds. It serves as a testament to generations past who dedicated their lives to farming on this very spot. While it remains unclear who Joyce or Greenham are in relation to this photograph, one thing is certain – they have left an indelible mark on this piece of history. This print captures not only their legacy but also pays homage to all those who have contributed to shaping Cornwall's agricultural heritage. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this image reminds visitors that behind every great city lies a tapestry woven with stories from its rural roots. It serves as a gentle reminder that progress should never overshadow our appreciation for tradition and the beauty found within simplicity itself.
