EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village, Northan, located near Exeter in Devon, England, as it appeared in 1905. The quaint, rural scene transports us to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of country life were cherished. The village, nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, is a picture of tranquility and community. The thatched cottages, with their ivy-covered walls and chimneys, exude a charm that speaks to the rich history of the area. The cobblestone streets, lined with trees and dotted with horse-drawn carts, add to the sense of timelessness. In the foreground, villagers can be seen going about their daily tasks, from tending to their gardens to socializing in the town square. The Village, Northan, was likely a self-sufficient community, where residents relied on the land for their livelihoods. The surrounding fields and pastures would have provided ample opportunities for agriculture and livestock rearing. The village's proximity to Exeter, Devon's historic county town, would have also offered access to markets and other essential services. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors and the world they inhabited. The Village, Northan, remains a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of rural England, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
