EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village, Dolton, in the picturesque county of Devon, England, dating back to the 1910s. Nestled in the heart of the Winkleigh parish, near the historic market town of Great Torrington, this quaint village offers a glimpse into rural life during a bygone era. The Village, Dolton, was a close-knit community where residents lived in harmony with the natural surroundings. The image reveals a collection of charming thatched cottages, their walls adorned with ivy and their roofs topped with brightly colored chimneys. The cobbled streets, lined with trees and hedgerows, bear testament to the village's rich history and the resilience of its people. The villagers were primarily farmers and laborers, who tended to the fertile land and livestock that surrounded their homes. The village green, visible in the center of the photograph, was a communal space where residents gathered for social events, celebrations, and daily activities. The 1910s were a period of significant change in the United Kingdom, with the advent of the First World War and the gradual shift from rural to urban living. However, in The Village, Dolton, life continued much as it had for generations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when community and self-sufficiency were the cornerstones of daily life. As you explore the intricacies of this image, take a moment to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of these historic cottages and the lives of the people who called The Village, Dolton, home.
