EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Katherine MacFee, transports us back to a bustling era in Groombridge, Kent during the 1910s. In this snapshot of history, we are presented with an intriguing glimpse into the lives of two labourers standing proudly beside the steps outside The Crown Inn. The inn itself serves as a backdrop for this candid moment frozen in time. Its charming architecture and inviting atmosphere hint at its significance within the community as a popular public house. As we observe these hardworking individuals, their sturdy workwear speaks volumes about their dedication to their craft. With an air of confidence and purpose, these labourers exude strength and resilience. Their weathered faces tell tales of long hours spent toiling away on various projects that helped shape Groombridge's landscape. Despite the physical demands of their occupation, there is an undeniable sense of pride radiating from them. MacFee's skilled composition captures every detail flawlessly; from the texture of their clothing to the worn steps beneath them. This photograph not only documents a specific place and time but also immortalizes these unsung heroes who played vital roles in building communities like Groombridge. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and how ordinary people can leave extraordinary imprints on society through their tireless efforts.
