EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the charm of Groombridge, Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells in Kent during the early 1910s. Titled "End houses MCF01_02_1559" it showcases a row of end houses with unique architectural features. The photographer, Katherine MacFee, unfortunately did not specify which exact houses these are but suggests they might be located at the back of the houses on The Walks in Groombridge. The image reveals that these end houses were adorned with tile hung facades at the first floor level while boasting partial weatherboarding. Their timber-framed structures exude a sense of vernacular architecture prevalent during that era. MacFee was particularly intrigued by their peculiar roofs as mentioned in her negative index for this collection. It is worth noting that MacFee stayed nearby at the Crown Inn during her visit to this picturesque area, adding a personal touch to her documentation of Groombridge's architectural heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to her keen eye for detail and appreciation for capturing slices of history through her lens. Preserved by Historic England, this print allows us to step back in time and marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship displayed by these end houses over a century ago.
