EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Tanners Lane, St John's, Sussex, 1917" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we are transported back in time to Tanners Lane in the quaint village of St John's, nestled in the heart of Sussex, England. The image, captured in 1917, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this picturesque location, which lies near the popular town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The scene unfolds before us as we follow the winding, cobblestone path, bordered by ancient, gnarled trees, their branches reaching out to embrace the narrow lane. The weathered, red-brick cottages, with their thatched roofs and ivy-covered walls, exude a sense of charm and tranquility. The quaint wooden doors, some adorned with intricate carvings, hint at the stories and secrets that lie within. The villagers of St John's went about their daily lives, oblivious to the momentary pause in time that this photograph would capture. The women, dressed in long, flowing skirts and bonnets, can be seen tending to their gardens or chatting with neighbors. Men, in their work clothes, are likely to be heading to the local farms or workshops. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation during that era, add to the rustic charm of the scene. The horses, with their powerful, muscular forms, seem to embody the raw energy and determination of the era. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions that have shaped the village of St John's. The passage of time has transformed the landscape, but the essence of this enchanting place remains unchanged. Today, visitors from around the world come to explore the hidden corners of St John's and to experience the timeless beauty of Tanners Lane.
