EDITORS COMMENTS
Devils Arrows, Boroughbridge, Yorkshire (1910) - A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph taken in 1910 showcases the enigmatic Devils Arrows, a prehistoric monument located near the picturesque town of Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, England. Nestled among the lush greenery, the Devils Arrows, also known as the Boroughbridge Row of Stones, consist of a row of thirteen standing stones, each around 1.5 meters high, aligned in a north-south direction. The exact origins of this ancient site remain shrouded in mystery, with theories suggesting that it may have been used as a burial ground, a boundary marker, or even an astronomical observatory. Some local legends claim that the Devils Arrows were placed there by the devil himself, who was tricked into carrying the stones across the River Ure and was unable to remove them once he reached the opposite bank. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the rich history of the region. The Devils Arrows stand as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors, inviting us to ponder the stories and traditions that have shaped the landscape of Boroughbridge and the surrounding areas for centuries. The serene setting of the photograph, with the Devils Arrows framed by the rolling hills and verdant foliage, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of the natural world. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the timeless allure of history and the natural wonders that continue to captivate and inspire us.
