EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Merthyr Uny, a charming corner of Wendron, Cornwall. The lens of renowned photographer Herbert Hughes has beautifully captured an enchanting view of Merthyr Uny Farm, where history and nature seamlessly intertwine. In this mesmerizing snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent architecture that adorns the landscape. It is here that we witness a fascinating blend of old and new; stones salvaged from an ancient chapel or Manor house have been repurposed to construct this picturesque farmstead. Each stone seems to whisper tales of bygone eras as they stand proudly amidst lush green fields. Amidst this architectural splendor lies another element that epitomizes rural life - a group of Cornish cows grazing peacefully on the verdant pasture. These gentle creatures add a touch of tranquility to the scene, their presence harmoniously blending with both nature's beauty and man-made craftsmanship. As we delve into this photograph, it becomes evident that it captures more than just physical structures; it encapsulates the spirit and essence of Cornwall itself. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communities thrived off their land while preserving remnants from centuries past. Preserved within these frames is not only a glimpse into Merthyr Uny's rich heritage but also an invitation to appreciate how tradition can be lovingly woven into contemporary existence. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Cornwall's enduring
