EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1967 captures a slice of history on the main road (A30) at Holyway Cross, Lewannick, Cornwall. The winter scene showcases a junction and signpost near a modern house, with Tolpetherwin Farm visible in the distance. Holyway Cross holds significant historical importance as it is situated beside the main medieval route into Cornwall from the crossing of the River Tamar near Launceston. The photograph, taken by Charles Woolf, transports us back to an era when this road was bustling with activity. It offers a glimpse into daily life during that time period and provides valuable insight into how transportation and infrastructure have evolved over the years. The image portrays not only a snapshot of rural Cornish life but also highlights the strategic significance of Holyway Cross as an important administrative center and market town during medieval times. The composition beautifully juxtaposes old and new elements against each other - ancient routes intersecting with contemporary architecture. As we admire this frozen moment in time, we are reminded of our connection to history and how landscapes can change while still retaining their essence. This print serves as both a testament to human progress and a tribute to Cornwall's rich heritage.
