EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Churchtown, Roche, Cornwall in the year 1977. The image showcases a picturesque scene featuring Parkwood House, adorned with its distinctive architecture and surrounded by quaint shops that were an integral part of the community. Among these establishments are F. M. Stevens Cycle & Toy store and Bests Boot & Shoe & General Provision Stores, which undoubtedly served as vital hubs for locals and visitors alike. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Charles Woolf, whose keen eye captured not only the physical structures but also the essence of daily life during that era. As we delve into this photograph's details, we notice familiar names such as Cornish, Lyons Coffee, Mace, Green Shield Stamps - all evoking nostalgia for brands that have left their mark on our collective memory. However, it is important to note that this caption does not refer to any commercial use or endorsement; rather it aims to celebrate the historical significance of these businesses within their cultural context. Through this single frame frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back four decades ago when Joyce Greenham's shop was bustling with activity and local residents relied on these stores for their everyday needs. In conclusion, this evocative print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where traditional shops formed the heart of small communities like Churchtown. It serves as a testament to both Charles Woolf's skillful photography and the enduring legacy of these beloved establishments
