EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1913 showcases the charming houses near Norton Common in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. The carefully planned layout of the town is evident in this image, with each home nestled amongst lush greenery and well-maintained gardens.
Letchworth Garden City was one of the first examples of a garden city, a concept developed by urban planner Ebenezer Howard in the late 19th century. The idea behind garden cities was to create self-contained communities that combined the benefits of both city and country living. This photograph perfectly captures that vision, with its picturesque streets lined with quaint homes and leafy trees.
The sense of community is palpable in this snapshot from over a century ago. One can imagine neighbors chatting over picket fences or children playing together on the grassy lawns. It's a scene straight out of a storybook, where everyone knows their neighbors and takes pride in their shared surroundings.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of the importance of thoughtful urban planning and green spaces within our cities. Letchworth Garden City serves as an enduring example of how harmonious living can be achieved through careful design and consideration for both people and nature.
