EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1975, we are transported to the tranquil village of St Michael Penkivel in Cornwall. The renowned Newquay photographer, Charles Woolf, stands at the Tregothnan landing side, gazing out over the picturesque river towards Malpas. His presence adds a sense of artistry and contemplation to the scene. Seated beside him is perhaps his wife, Phyllis, whose serene expression mirrors the calmness of their surroundings. Together, they soak in the beauty that surrounds them - a testament to their shared love for nature and exploration. Photographer Joyce Greenham skillfully captures this moment in time with her lens. Her composition highlights not only the stunning view but also emphasizes the importance of water transport as boats gracefully glide along Fal River. This image serves as a reminder of how rivers have long been vital lifelines connecting communities and facilitating trade. The inclusion of keywords such as "Cornish" "Truro" and "Tresillian" further grounds us in this specific location within Cornwall's rich tapestry. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when ferries were an integral part of daily life. This remarkable photograph holds immense historical value and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its significance as a record of Cornish heritage.
