EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, and immerse yourself in a bygone era. This photograph print captures a quintessential scene from rural life in the 1920s. The main street is bustling with activity as three men expertly navigate a horse-drawn cart laden with coppiced wood outside The Royal Oak Inn. The pub's sign proudly advertises Kennett Ales, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere of this idyllic setting. The men at work are likely local villagers going about their daily routine, transporting goods to and from the nearby woods where they harvest timber for fuel and other purposes. This photograph not only showcases the rustic charm of rural life but also highlights the importance of community and industry in small villages like Wootton Rivers. Take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era, where hard work was rewarded with good company and refreshing pints at The Royal Oak Inn.
