EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented photographer John Gay, transports us back to a simpler time in the charming town of Godalming, Surrey. The image showcases a heartwarming scene of a man and his loyal canine companion strolling through the rear range of numbers 40 to 46 High Street. The architectural beauty of this historic area is evident as we observe the intricate details on these 20th-century buildings, which have been skillfully constructed using earlier timbers. It's fascinating to witness how elements from the past have been repurposed to create something new and enduring. But what truly steals our attention in this photograph is the undeniable bond between man and dog. As they traverse through this picturesque street, their connection is palpable - an unspoken language that only true companions share. The man's gentle smile reflects his contentment while his four-legged friend exudes pure joy with every step taken. John Gay has masterfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also an emotion that transcends generations. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures found in everyday life – taking leisurely walks with loved ones amidst historical surroundings. In preserving this snapshot from history, Historic England allows us to appreciate both architectural heritage and human connections that withstand the test of time.
