EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a picturesque scene from the early 1900s in Frensham, Surrey. The image showcases a horse-drawn cart crossing Mill Bridge over the tranquil River Wey. As the photographer, Katherine MacFee, skillfully frames the shot, we witness a moment of serenity and simplicity in an era dominated by industrialization. The focus of this photograph lies not only on the bridge itself but also on the interaction between man and animal. In her meticulous documentation, MacFee notes that this particular cart is leaving after its horse has quenched its thirst from the river's waters. This detail adds depth to our understanding of daily life during that time period when horses played an integral role in transportation. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as sunlight dances upon rippling water beneath Mill Bridge. The lush greenery surrounding both sides of the riverbank further enhances this idyllic setting. It serves as a reminder of how nature and human activity coexisted harmoniously before modern development took hold. Katherine MacFee's photographic prowess shines through in capturing this fleeting moment frozen in time. Her ability to encapsulate history within one frame allows us to appreciate not just the physical beauty but also glimpse into past customs and ways of life along Frensham Road. This remarkable print stands as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich heritage for future generations to cherish and learn from.
