EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of the White Horse Inn in Dorking, Surrey, England, during the Victorian period. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, gas-lit lanterns, and rustic charm. The White Horse Inn, a cherished establishment in Dorking since the 16th century, is depicted here with its whitewashed walls, thatched roof, and the distinctive white horse sign, which has been a beacon for weary travelers for centuries. The inn's inviting front door, adorned with intricate wood carvings, beckons visitors to come in from the cold and enjoy a hearty meal and a warm drink. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quiet, snow-covered village, with quaint cottages and cobblestone streets adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The gas-lit lanterns, flickering in the twilight, cast a warm, inviting glow over the scene. This photograph, taken during the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, is a testament to the charm and character of rural England during a time when life moved at a slower pace. The White Horse Inn, with its rich history and welcoming atmosphere, remains a beloved institution in Dorking and continues to draw visitors from near and far.
