The Queens Hotel on High Street in St Ives, Cornwall, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph during the Queen’s Silver Jubilee year of 1977. The archival image shows the granite-faced hotel adorned with blue window shutters and draped with festive multi-coloured bunting and Union Jack flags. A boy in a Superman t-shirt and a teenager with an afro hairstyle walk past the traditional shopfronts. In the distance, the distinctive tall granite tower of St Ia’s Church rises above the town’s historic slate roofs. This factual record preserves the celebratory atmosphere and classic Cornish streetscape of the late 1970s, documenting the local festivities and period fashion typical of a British seaside town during this landmark year.
