EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Old Forge in Groombridge, Sussex. 1938" transports us back to the peaceful countryside of England in the interwar period. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this image beautifully captures a slice of rural life during the 1930s. In the foreground stands an old wooden cottage that exudes charm and history. Its listed building status is evident through its weathered exterior and rustic appearance. The stable door on the side hints at its former use as a place for horses or livestock. A man can be seen standing near the entrance of the forge, surrounded by birds fluttering above him. Perhaps he is taking a momentary break from his work inside or simply enjoying their company amidst his daily tasks. To add to this picturesque scene, an automobile sits parked on the driveway nearby - a symbol of modernity juxtaposed against traditional rural living. The composition evokes a sense of warmth and coziness with smoke billowing out from the hearth within, providing both heat and comfort to those residing within these walls. Topham's masterful capture allows us to step into this idyllic setting frozen in time - where nature meets human habitation harmoniously in Groombridge, Sussex over eight decades ago.
