EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of East Looe, a charming fishing village nestled on the Cornish coast of England during the 1970s. The image, taken by renowned photographer John Hinde, showcases the quaint harbor filled with traditional fishing boats, their colorful sails and rigging contrasting against the rough textures of the stone quay. The bridge in the foreground adds an intriguing element, connecting the old town with the newer developments across the river. East Looe, located in the west country of England, has long been a popular tourist destination for its natural beauty and rich maritime history. The village's narrow, winding streets are lined with quaint cottages and small shops, while the surrounding hills offer breathtaking views of the coastline and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Fishing has been an essential part of East Looe's economy for centuries, and the boats in the photograph reflect the village's proud maritime heritage. The fishermen, who can be seen in the background, have spent their lives working on the water, braving the elements to bring in the catch of the day. This photograph, taken by John Hinde for The John Hinde Archive, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a coastal village were cherished. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of East Looe and the beauty of the Cornish coast.
