EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Burton Bradstock, West Dorset, with this photograph from the 1920s. Taken by Katherine MacFee, this print captures a quintessential scene of rural England, showcasing the village's picturesque High Street.
The image is dominated by the honey-colored stone cottages and buildings that line the street, their rustic charm and character evident even today. In the foreground, a young girl walks past Rock House, her figure diminutive against the grandeur of the surrounding architecture. Her presence adds a sense of movement and life to an otherwise static scene.
The atmosphere is one of tranquility and simplicity, evoking memories of a bygone era when life was slower-paced and more peaceful. The photograph invites us to imagine what it would have been like to stroll down this very same street on a warm summer's day in the early 20th century.
Burton Bradstock has changed little over time, retaining its original character and charm despite modernization efforts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and history, allowing us to connect with our past through these beautifully preserved images.
