EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the past: The Creek, Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England (circa 1900s) Nestled along the banks of the River Dart in South Devon, the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel has long been a favorite destination for visitors seeking a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This evocative photograph, captured in the early 1900s, offers a captivating glimpse into the village's rich history and the daily life of its residents during a bygone era. The image, taken from a vantage point overlooking The Creek, reveals a scene of serene beauty. The crystal-clear waters of the river reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape, with the lush greenery of the trees and hillsides contrasting against the rustic cottages and boats moored along the shoreline. The village itself, nestled in the distance, appears as a charming cluster of red-roofed buildings, their warm hues softened by the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. The Creek, as it was known, was once a thriving hub of activity for the local community. Boats laden with cargo would regularly dock at the village quay, bringing goods from the nearby towns of Totnes and Paignton, as well as from further afield. The villagers would work together to unload the boats and transport the goods to their destinations, ensuring that the community was well-supplied with essentials. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of community and the natural beauty of The Creek endure. Today, visitors can still enjoy the peaceful surroundings, stroll along the riverbank, or take a boat trip to explore the hidden coves and creeks that make this corner of Devon so special. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the village's rich history and the enduring charm of rural life in Devon.
