EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, and experience the tranquility of rural life in the 1920s. This photograph captures a moment in time when life was simpler and slower-paced. The main street is lined with traditional houses, their thatched roofs and rustic facades blending seamlessly into the picturesque landscape.
In the foreground, two men sit astride a motorcycle with a sidecar, their faces set towards adventure as they prepare to hit the open road. The vintage vehicle is a testament to innovation and progress during this era of rapid technological change. Meanwhile, passersby go about their daily routines, unaware of being captured on film.
This photograph by Katherine MacFee offers a glimpse into village life at its core - where community and tradition reign supreme. The image exudes warmth and nostalgia, inviting us to step into its idyllic world where worries are few and far between. As we gaze upon this scene from yesteryear, we can't help but feel grateful for the preservation of such treasures by Historic England.
