EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the remarkable transformation of Redruth, Cornwall in 2021. Standing tall and proud amidst the urban landscape is Kresen Kernow, a beacon of knowledge and heritage. Formerly the iconic Redruth Brewery, this historic site has been ingeniously repurposed into an archive centre for Cornwall. The image showcases the architectural brilliance of Kresen Kernow as it seamlessly blends industrial remnants with modern design elements. The towering chimney serves as a poignant reminder of the area's rich brewing past while symbolizing progress and reinvention.

This public library and study center houses an extensive collection of historical records, photographs, and documents that shed light on Cornwall's vibrant history. It serves as a hub for researchers, scholars, and curious minds alike who seek to delve deep into the region's fascinating past. Damian Grady skillfully captures this scene from above, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of Kresen Kernow and its integration within an urban setting.
