EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection transports us back in time to the bustling East Looe Quays. With its impeccable detail, it offers a glimpse into the vibrant maritime activity that once thrived in this picturesque coastal town. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the railway tracks, which dominate the foreground with their intricate design and weathered appearance. These tracks served as vital arteries for transporting goods and materials to and from Looe, connecting it to distant corners of Cornwall and beyond. The photographer's keen eye captures every nuance of these tracks, revealing their history through subtle signs of wear and tear. In addition to the railway tracks, piles of grainite can be seen scattered along Buller Quay. These heaps represent an essential part of Looe's economy at that time - granite quarrying. This industry played a significant role in shaping not only local infrastructure but also contributing to wider construction projects across Britain. Adding a touch of modernity amidst this historic scene is a loan lorry parked on Buller Quay. Its presence reminds us that even as traditional industries thrived, technological advancements were slowly making their mark on transportation methods. This remarkable print encapsulates both the charm and industrious spirit that defined East Looe Quays during its heyday. It serves as a testament to our rich maritime heritage while inviting us to reflect upon how times have changed since this moment was captured by Raddy Collection's talented photographer.
