Ashe Gorse: A Scenic View into the Past of Fox Hunting in the Meynell Hunt Area, Staffordshire (1936) Step back in time with this evocative image of Ashe Gorse, a popular covert in the picturesque Meynell Hunt area of Staffordshire, England. Dating back to 1936, this scene transports us to a bygone era, where the thrill of the chase was a cherished pastime for many. The tranquil landscape is adorned with a multitude of trees, their branches reaching out to touch the clear blue sky. The gnarled trunks of the ancient oaks and the vibrant green leaves of the ash trees create a stunning contrast against the golden hue of the gorse bushes that blanket the ground. The hedgerows, dotted with wildflowers, add a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. At the heart of this idyllic setting lies the Ashe Gorse covert, a favorite haunt for the foxes that once roamed these lands. The huntsmen, dressed in their traditional red coats and tall black hats, are seen in the distance, their hounds hot on the trail of their quarry. The anticipation is palpable, as the hounds bay and the riders prepare for the chase. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of fox hunting in the Midlands of England during the 1930s. The scene is reminiscent of the classic English countryside, with its rolling hills, fields, and hedgerows, and serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished sport and an integral part of rural life.
