EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1913, captures the stark contrast between The Village and Prison of Princetown, nestled in the heart of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. Princetown, a small settlement, is located just outside the high walls of the historic Dartmoor Prison. Established in 1809, the prison was built to house and reform notorious criminals, and its imposing stone walls and towers can still be seen standing proudly against the rugged Dartmoor landscape. The village, on the other hand, was purpose-built to house the prison staff and their families, providing them with essential services and a sense of community. The photograph reveals a scene of daily life in Princetown, with villagers going about their business and children playing in the streets. The prison, however, looms ominously in the background, a constant reminder of the community's unique history and purpose. The barren, rocky terrain of Dartmoor is evident in the distance, adding to the sense of isolation and self-sufficiency that has long defined this remote corner of England. Despite its historic significance and picturesque setting, Princetown remains a working prison today, housing around 500 inmates. The village, now a popular tourist destination, continues to thrive, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a taste of the wild beauty of Dartmoor.
