EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Edenbridge, Kent on a crisp autumn morning. The image captures a momentous event - the departure of the Old Surrey and Burstow Hunt through the bustling High Street. As they make their way through this picturesque Kentish village, one cannot help but be drawn to the centuries-old gallows sign hanging above an iconic inn. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, transporting us to November 30th, 1953. The hunt's foxhounds eagerly lead the way as riders on horseback follow closely behind. Their traditional attire adds an air of elegance and tradition to this rural spectacle. Intriguingly, we are also provided with glimpses of other historical elements within this photograph. One can spot signage for Westerham Ales and Hotel Established in XV Century - reminders that even then, history was deeply ingrained in everyday life. Through its impeccable topography, this print encapsulates not only a specific moment in time but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler days gone by. It invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling along those very streets or perhaps joining in on the excitement as horses gallop past under that ancient gallows sign. Overall, this remarkable image serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a portal into history – reminding us of how much beauty lies within our own local communities.
