EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by General from TopFoto, we witness Joseph Brigden, a seasoned gardener at the age of 75, fearlessly taking on the daunting task of trimming a colossal yew tree hedge. Standing tall at approximately 26 feet high, this magnificent hedge runs along the side of Manor House in Betsham, Kent. Joseph's dedication to his craft is evident as he meticulously wields his trusty shears while perched atop a ladder. With years of experience under his belt, it comes as no surprise that he has been entrusted with maintaining this majestic green boundary since he first began working here at the tender age of 13. The photograph captures not only Joseph's unwavering commitment but also showcases the sheer scale and grandeur of nature itself. The towering yew tree hedge serves as a testament to time and resilience, standing proudly against the backdrop of an idyllic garden. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured on March 23rd, 1960, we are reminded that some tasks require both skill and perseverance. Joseph Brigden embodies these qualities as he tends to this giant yew tree hedge year after year – a true guardian preserving beauty for generations to come.
