EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies, titled "Decaying interior DP220764" takes us on a journey through time and into the heart of Bunksland Farmhouse in East Anstey, North Devon. Stepping into this once vibrant home, we are immediately struck by the poignant beauty of its decaying interior. The first-floor hall is revealed before our eyes from an eastern perspective, showcasing the remnants of a forgotten era. The worn wooden floorboards creak underfoot as we navigate through this hauntingly beautiful space. Our gaze is drawn to an old chair placed prominently in the foreground - a solitary witness to years gone by. Every corner tells a story of hardship and poverty etched into every piece of furniture that remains standing against all odds. The rustic decay that permeates these walls serves as a reminder of lives lived within these very rooms. As we contemplate this image captured by Historic England, it becomes evident that there is profound beauty even in dereliction. It invites us to reflect on the passage of time and appreciate the resilience found amidst decay. James O. Davies has masterfully preserved this moment frozen in time for future generations to ponder upon - an homage to those who once called Bunksland Farmhouse their home and a testament to their enduring spirit amidst adversity.
