EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting Victorian era with this image of Cockington Forge and village, beautifully preserved in the archives of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Nestled in the heart of Devon, England, the quaint hamlet of Cockington boasts a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. In this evocative photograph, the forge, with its bellows pumping out plumes of smoke, stands as a symbol of the industrial revolution that transformed the region during the Victorian period. The ironwork crafted here was renowned for its quality, attracting clients from far and wide. The forge's red-brick walls, worn by the passage of time, and the surrounding trees, bathed in the soft, dappled light, create an idyllic scene that transports us to a bygone era. The village, with its thatched-roof cottages and cobblestone streets, is a picture-perfect representation of Victorian life in rural England. The women in their elegant gowns and parasols, the men in their tailored suits, and the children in their simple attire, all add to the authenticity of this image. The horse-drawn carriages and wagons, a common sight during the era, complete the scene, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the villagers. The serene atmosphere of Cockington Forge and village, with its blend of industry and picturesque charm, makes it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and photography lovers alike. This vintage photograph, with its early, old-world charm, is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of the past.
