EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Askers Road House, a charming roadside inn nestled between Bridport and Dorchester in Dorset, England. Circa 1930, this photograph showcases the quintessential British countryside, with the thatched roof of the inn standing proudly amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. Askers Road House was a forerunner of the modern motel, offering weary travelers a place to rest and rejuvenate during their journeys. The inn's inviting facade, adorned with ivy and flowers, beckons visitors to come in from the road and enjoy a warm meal and a comfortable night's sleep. The inn's rustic charm is further accentuated by the horse and cart parked outside, a common mode of transportation during the early 20th century. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and farmland, adds to the idyllic scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of travel and hospitality in Britain, and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era. Whether you're a history buff, a travel enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to transport you to a simpler time.
