EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming market town of Burford, Oxfordshire, with this photograph from the 1920s. The Tolsey MCF01_02_0725 captures a quintessential scene of rural England, showcasing the bustling High Street and its iconic market hall, The Tolsey.
At the heart of the image is a horse-drawn cart making its way down the cobblestone street, adding a touch of nostalgia to this already idyllic setting. The timber-framed building that houses The Tolsey stands proudly at the center, its Tudor architecture exuding charm and character.
The surrounding buildings seem to lean in, as if sharing secrets with one another, while pedestrians go about their daily business. The atmosphere is lively yet peaceful, evoking a sense of community and tradition. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into Burford's rich history but also celebrates the beauty of rural life in England during the early 20th century.
Katherine MacFee's striking print brings this moment to life, inviting us to step into Burford's past and experience its unique blend of history and natural beauty.
