EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the picturesque coastal town of Looe in Cornwall, circa 1930. The focus of this image is none other than the iconic Looe Bridge, a stone structure that has connected both sides of this charming town since 1853. However, its history dates back even further, with a bridge standing at this very spot as early as 1411. The photograph beautifully captures the timeless charm and tranquility that permeates Looe. As we gaze upon it, our eyes are drawn to the riverbanks lined with small rowing boats gently resting on calm waters. These vessels seem almost like silent witnesses to centuries of stories unfolding along these shores. One can't help but imagine life in Looe during this era - perhaps locals and visitors alike would stroll across the bridge, taking in breathtaking views while relishing in moments of serenity amidst their busy lives. This view was not only cherished by those who called Looe home but also served as an enchanting sight for tourists discovering Cornwall's natural beauty. As we admire this historical gem frozen in time through this photo print, let us appreciate how bridges like these have not only physically connected communities throughout history but also symbolized unity and progress. They stand as enduring testaments to human ingenuity and serve as gateways into worlds waiting to be explored beyond their arches.
