EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee captures the essence of rural life in East Sussex during the early 20th century. The image showcases an exterior view from the south-east of Florence Farm's oasthouse and stowage barn, providing a glimpse into the region's agricultural heritage. The oasthouse stands tall with its distinctive conical roofs, known as kilns, used for drying hops. This Victorian-era structure served a crucial role in hop production, which was a significant industry in this part of England at that time. Adjacent to it is the stowage barn, where two carts can be seen resting inside the cart shed on the ground floor. The composition exudes tranquility and simplicity, reflecting a bygone era when farming practices were deeply rooted in tradition. The weathered textures of both buildings hint at their age and history, while also adding character to the scene. MacFee's expert eye for detail allows viewers to appreciate architectural elements such as wooden beams and brickwork that have stood against time. This photograph serves as a visual testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of how these structures played an integral role in sustaining local communities. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where hard work met ingenuity amidst picturesque landscapes – a reminder of our collective past that should not be forgotten.
