EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of The Village in Kingston St Mary, Somerset, nestled at the foot of the picturesque Quantock Hills near Taunton. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this charming English village. The Swan at Kingston public house, a beloved local establishment, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. Its distinctive whitewashed walls and thatched roof, adorned with ivy, have weathered the test of time, inviting visitors to step inside and experience a taste of traditional English hospitality. The Village, with its quaint cottages and winding lanes, is a quintessential English village scene. The lush, green landscape of the Quantock Hills provides a beautiful backdrop, with their rolling hills and verdant valleys stretching out in the distance. As you explore this photograph, take a moment to imagine the daily life of the villagers in the 1930s. Children playing in the streets, farmers tending to their land, and locals gathering at the pub for a pint and a chat. The Swan at Kingston would have been a hub of activity, a place where stories were shared, friendships were forged, and the community came together. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of rural England and the rich history of the Village in Kingston St Mary. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of the natural world around us.
