EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1957 transports us to the picturesque village of Halliggye, nestled in the heart of Mawgan in Meneage, Cornwall. The focal point is a stunning slate-hung building, gracefully elevated on staddle stones, also known as mushroom stones. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to the region's rich history and traditional craftsmanship. In this idyllic scene, we catch a glimpse of rural life in its purest form. Cattle graze peacefully in the background, adding an element of tranquility to the landscape. On the right-hand side, another farm building peeks into view, hinting at a thriving agricultural community that thrived within these lands. The talented photographer behind this snapshot is Charles Woolf who skillfully captured every intricate detail with precision and artistry. His lens effortlessly immortalizes not just a mere structure but also an essence - one that embodies Cornish heritage and resilience. Halliggye finds itself within close proximity to Trelowarren Estate on the Lizard Peninsula – an area renowned for its natural beauty and unspoiled charm. As we admire this image, it serves as a gentle reminder of simpler times when life revolved around nature's bounty and communities were deeply connected to their surroundings. This remarkable photograph evokes nostalgia while celebrating Cornwall's unique culture and architectural wonders. It invites us to appreciate our roots and cherish our past while inspiring future generations to preserve these timeless treasures for years to come.
