EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Blast from the Past: High Street, Sturry, Canterbury, Kent, England - A Historical Snapshot of a Bombed Village (1900s)" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the charm and tranquility of High Street, Sturry, Canterbury, Kent, England, in the 1900s. The quaint, picturesque scene is a stark contrast to the turbulent history that would unfold in this village during World War Two. 3. Background: Sturry, a historic village located just north of Canterbury, Kent, England, was once a thriving community with a rich history. However, during the dark days of World War Two, it became the most bombed village in England. This photograph, taken before the devastating bombings, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. 4. Description: The image showcases a bustling High Street lined with quaint shops, beautiful houses, and horse-drawn carriages. The cobblestone road, lined with trees and colorful buildings, exudes a sense of peace and prosperity. The scene is completed by the clear blue sky and the sun casting long shadows on the ground. 5. Historical Significance: Unfortunately, no building in this picture remains today. During World War Two, Sturry was a strategic target due to its proximity to the River Stour and the important railway line that ran through it. The village was heavily bombed, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the resilience of the community that rebuilt their village after the war. 6. Conclusion: This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Sturry, a village that was once a picturesque and prosperous community, but was forever changed by the events of World War Two. The image is a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
