EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1977 takes us back in time to the quaint village of Churchtown, Roche, Cornwall. Standing proudly in the frame is The Temperance Hotel, a historic building that was originally constructed as the Temperance Hall in 1884. Its charming architecture and rich history make it an iconic landmark of this picturesque region. In front of the hotel, we see three young boys exuding an air of mischief and curiosity. Their playful expressions are juxtaposed against two classic cars parked along the roadside. A Cornish and Triumph Herald registration 600 URL vehicle stands alongside another car with registration LGL 687P. The scene captures a moment frozen in time—a snapshot of everyday life in this close-knit community. The boys' presence adds a sense of youthful energy to the otherwise serene surroundings. Photographed by Charles Woolf, this image showcases his keen eye for detail and ability to capture authentic moments. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as his dedication to preserving Cornwall's cultural heritage through photography. As we delve into this photograph, we can't help but imagine what stories lie behind those walls or where these young boys may be today. This print invites us on a journey through time while reminding us of the enduring charm found within our local communities.
