EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque Trewhiddle Farmhouse, captured beautifully in this vintage print from 1962. Nestled amidst the idyllic landscapes of St Austell, Cornwall, this charming farmhouse exudes a timeless appeal that transports us to an era long gone. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the dovecote openings adorning the roof of the lean-to building on the left side of the house. These architectural features not only add character but also serve as a reminder of a bygone tradition when farmers would keep pigeons for their eggs and meat. The dovecote openings stand as silent witnesses to centuries-old farming practices. As our gaze shifts towards the stone front door surround, we are greeted by a medieval pediment that further enhances this farmhouse's historical allure. Its intricate design hints at craftsmanship from another era, evoking images of knights and castles. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures every detail with his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and simplicity found within Cornish farm life during this period. His keen eye for composition ensures that each element harmoniously blends into its surroundings. This photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and invites us to immerse ourselves in its rustic beauty. It stands as a treasured piece within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, preserving memories and stories for generations to come.
