The White Horse, Eaton Socon, Bedfordshire, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the charming village of Eaton Socon in Bedfordshire during the summer of 1939. The image showcases a picturesque coaching inn known as "The White Horse" which has stood proudly since the thirteenth century. With its aged brick exterior and ivy-covered walls, this historic building exudes timeless beauty. Its chimney billows smoke into the clear blue sky, hinting at warm hearths within. The pub's listed status as a Grade II building highlights its architectural significance and cultural value. In front of this iconic establishment, we catch sight of several background figures - men and women going about their day in this peaceful countryside setting. Their presence adds depth to the scene, reminding us that history is not just about buildings but also about people who have left their mark on these places. This stunning photograph was originally featured on a cigarette card from W. D. & H. O. Wills' 'Old Inns - Second Series of 40' collection in 1939. Preserved through time, it now serves as a window into an era long gone by. As we gaze upon this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler days gone by – an invitation to explore our rich heritage and appreciate the enduring beauty found within our own communities.
