EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Burton Bradstock, West Dorset, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this idyllic scene. This photograph, taken by Katherine MacFee for Historic England, captures a moment in time on the village green during the 1920s.
The focal point of the image is a beautiful sycamore tree, its branches stretching towards the sky like nature's own work of art. At its base stands a stately lamp post, adorned with a commemorative plaque celebrating Queen Victoria's jubilee. The surrounding grassy expanse is dotted with benches and trees, providing a peaceful oasis for villagers to relax and socialize.
In the background, a horse-drawn cart makes its way down Middle Street, passing by quaint houses with their characteristic thatched roofs. The atmosphere is one of simplicity and serenity, untouched by the hustle and bustle of modern life.
This photograph not only showcases the picturesque beauty of Burton Bradstock but also provides a glimpse into daily life in rural England during an era gone by. It's as if we're transported to another world where time stands still and all that matters is community, tradition, and connection with nature.
