EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Topham takes us back to a time when road safety regulations were yet to be established. In the 1930s, with no driving tests for motorists and no speed limit in built-up areas, road traffic proved to be perilous. This poignant image captures an animal cemetery located in Hildenborough, Kent - a somber reminder of the heavy toll that reckless driving took on innocent lives. The sign "Cemetery for dogs killed on the road" stands as a stark testament to the tragic consequences of unchecked vehicular activity during this era. As we stroll down Memory Lane through this monochrome snapshot, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of road safety measures. The image also features another intriguing sign: "No 62 The Boiling Kettle". It serves as a curious juxtaposition against the backdrop of sorrowful pet graves. Perhaps it was intended as a symbol of solace or respite amidst the grief-stricken atmosphere. Topham's photograph transports us back to Europe between the wars, offering insight into a time when society was grappling with modernization and its impact on daily life. Through this evocative visual from our archives at TopFoto, we are invited to reflect upon progress made since those tumultuous years while honoring those beloved animals who lost their lives due to early motoring negligence.
