1920s Horse Drawn Transport House Street Scene
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Kingston, Dorset in the 1920s. The scene captured is nothing short of enchanting, as we find ourselves immersed in a charming street scene along West Street. As our gaze travels eastward, we are greeted with a delightful mix of horse-drawn transport and early forms of cycling. A horse-drawn cart gracefully makes its way down the cobbled road, while a cyclist confidently pedals past numbers 5 and 7 on the right side of the foreground. These elements serve as a reminder of simpler times when transportation was more traditional yet evolving. The architectural beauty surrounding this snapshot is equally captivating. The quaint houses lining both sides of West Street exude character and charm that perfectly complement their rural surroundings. It's fascinating to imagine what life must have been like for those who resided within these walls during this era. Katherine MacFee has masterfully captured not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also an entire atmosphere that transports us back to a different age altogether. This print serves as an invaluable glimpse into history, allowing us to appreciate both the evolution and timeless allure of Kingston, Dorset during the 1920s
