Cottage Cottages Delivering Eltham Hedge Lane Photographed Trader
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, captures a moment in time at an old cottage in Eltham, Kent (now in south east London). The quaint, rustic building with its thatched roof and ivy-covered walls stands proudly along a narrow country lane, bordered by a hedge and dotted with wildflowers. In the foreground, a trader goes about his daily business, delivering goods from his horse-drawn cart. The scene appears untouched by modernity, as the children, engrossed in their play, remain oblivious to the photographer's presence. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler, more rural way of life. The old cottage, with its charming character and timeless appeal, serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Eltham and Kent. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, inviting us to pause and reflect on the past, and the enduring beauty of the English countryside.
