1920s House Thatch Outbuilding
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Burton Bradstock MCF01_02_0648" transports us back to the quaint High Street of Burton Bradstock in West Dorset, Dorset. The image showcases a picturesque thatched cottage adorned with an attached thatched outbuilding. It exudes charm and character, embodying the essence of traditional English architecture. The photographer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the negative index for this collection. Not only does it provide valuable information about the location - taken at a rise in the road beside a shop - but it also highlights intriguing historical facts about this particular structure. Sadly, time has taken its toll on this cherished cottage as it no longer stands today; however, its memory lives on through this remarkable photograph. Situated on the north side of a flowing stream that gracefully passes under the road, this idyllic dwelling must have been a sight to behold during its heyday in the 1920s. Its charming facade and meticulously crafted thatch roof evoke feelings of nostalgia and transport us to simpler times. Katherine MacFee's skillful capture preserves not just an architectural gem but also offers us a glimpse into our rich heritage. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how our built environment evolves over time while reminding us to cherish these cultural treasures from bygone eras.
