EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the charming English village of Lexden, nestled in the heart of Essex, England, during the 1900s. This photograph transports us to a bygone era, where quaint thatched cottages line the winding streets, and the village green serves as the heart of community life. The Village of Lexden, located just north of Colchester, has a rich history dating back to the Roman and Saxon periods. However, this image offers a glimpse into its character during the 1900s, when horse-drawn carts and simple pleasures defined daily life. The village's close-knit community is evident in the bustling market scene, where locals exchange goods and stories, while children play and laugh in the background. The lush, green landscape surrounding the village adds to its picturesque beauty. The rolling hills and verdant fields provide ample opportunities for farming and agriculture, which were essential to the village's economy. The nearby River Colne, not visible in this image, also played a significant role in the village's history, as it facilitated trade and transportation. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the simple joys and close-knit communities that once defined rural English life. The Village of Lexden, with its enduring charm and history, continues to captivate visitors and inspire a sense of nostalgia for a time long past.
