EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Kentish Fox Meet of the West Kent Foxhounds in the 1930s This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1930s and the picturesque village of Kemsing in Kent, England. The scene unfolds at Kemsing Station, where the West Kent Foxhounds, a renowned hunting pack, have gathered for their cubbing meet. Cubbing is the traditional name given to the early training sessions for young hounds, where they learn the art of hunting. In this image, we see a group of enthusiastic huntsmen and their hounds, all dressed in the distinctive red coats and black and white check trousers, ready to embark on the day's activities. The hounds, with their keen noses and eager expressions, are a sight to behold, as they eagerly await the start of the hunt. The setting is idyllic, with the rolling hills and lush greenery of the Kentish countryside providing a beautiful backdrop. The steam train in the background adds a sense of industry and progress, highlighting the contrast between the traditional hunting practices and the modern world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of fox hunting in England during the 1930s. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished pastime, bringing together communities and families in a shared love of the outdoors and the thrill of the chase. The West Kent Foxhounds, founded in 1836, have a rich and storied history, with many notable figures and events associated with the pack. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring tradition of fox hunting in Kent and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
