EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of The Green in Thrussington, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, England. The image showcases two historic buildings that have stood the test of time: the Star Inn and the thatched cottage, both dating back to 1723. The Star Inn, with its distinctive whitewashed walls and half-timbered upper floors, has been a beloved local watering hole for centuries. Its welcoming sign, illuminated against the evening sky, beckons visitors to step inside and enjoy a pint of local ale or a hearty meal. Adjacent to the pub stands a charming thatched cottage, its roof a maze of interwoven straw and reeds. The cottage's ivy-covered walls and quaint windows transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life of days gone by. The Green, a small village green, is the perfect setting for these historic structures. Dotted with trees and surrounded by lush greenery, it provides a tranquil and idyllic scene. The gentle sway of the trees in the breeze and the soft chirping of birds add to the peaceful ambiance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of Thrussington and its charming buildings. It invites us to pause, take a moment, and appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life. Whether you're a local or a traveler, a visit to The Green is a must for anyone seeking a taste of English history and tradition.
