EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque town of Looe, Cornwall, with this print from August 1951. The image showcases the iconic Looe Harbour and Bridge, a sight that has been enchanting visitors for centuries. The stone bridge featured in the photograph was constructed in 1853 and served as a vital connection between the western and eastern sides of Looe. However, its history dates even further back to 1411 when an initial bridge first spanned across this spot. As you gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, you can almost feel the rich heritage embedded within its ancient stones. August is synonymous with summer bliss, and this charming coastal town certainly embodies that spirit. The tranquil waters of Looe Harbour reflect the vibrant hues of blue sky above while fishing boats gently bob along their moorings. The bustling activity onshore hints at a thriving community dependent on maritime trade. Transport yourself to an era where life moved at a slower pace by immersing yourself in this nostalgic scene captured by GWR's publicity view camera lens. This remarkable print serves as both a window into history and an invitation to explore all that Looe has to offer today.
