This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures the world-famous signpost at Land’s End, the most westerly point of mainland England in Cornwall. Dated 24th June 1975, the signpost displays distances to key locations including New York (3147 miles), John O’Groats (874 miles), and the Scilly Isles (28 miles). The image provides a factual record of mid-1970s tourism, featuring visitors dressed in period fashion—such as flared trousers and patterned shirts—navigating the rugged granite cliffs. As a self-contained archival record, this shot documents one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks before the extensive commercial development of the site in later decades, making it a significant resource for local historians and collectors of Cornish travel photography.
