EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of Tregony in Cornwall, circa 1973. The image captures a breathtaking view looking down Tregony Hill, with its charming Alms Houses prominently featured on the left side of the frame. These historic dwellings were originally erected by Hugh Boscawen in 1696 as a testament to his benevolence towards the less fortunate members of society. The Alms Houses underwent restoration work in 1895, meticulously executed according to plans crafted by renowned architect Silvanus Trevail. This ensured their preservation and continued significance within the community for generations to come. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captured this timeless scene, immortalizing it through his lens. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported back in time; we can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through the trees lining Tregony Hill and hear echoes of footsteps along its cobbled path. The tranquility and beauty that permeate every inch of this photograph serve as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich history and architectural heritage. With each glance at this remarkable piece, one cannot help but appreciate how it encapsulates both past and present—a visual bridge connecting centuries gone by with our contemporary world. It is an invaluable treasure preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection—an ode to Tregony's enduring charm and a testament to those who have contributed to its preservation throughout history
