EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Looe, Cornwall, in August 1936. The Great Western Railway (GWR) presents a stunning view of Looe Bay, showcasing its natural beauty and charm. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the iconic Banjo Pier standing proudly at the entrance of the Looe Estuary. The scene is bustling with holidaymakers who have flocked to this idyllic seaside destination during the summer months. With low tide revealing an intricate network of rocks, these adventurous souls take advantage of this unique opportunity to explore their rugged beauty up close. Their figures dotting the landscape add a sense of scale and liveliness to this timeless snapshot. Looe's East Beach stretches out before us, inviting visitors with its golden sands and tranquil waters. The river meanders gracefully through the town as it meets the sea, creating a harmonious blend between land and water that epitomizes Cornwall's coastal allure. Transported back to an era long gone by, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into those vintage swimsuits and straw hats while breathing in the fresh salty air. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for simpler days spent amidst nature's wonders along England's enchanting coastline.
