EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and simplicity of rural life in The Village, Ruabon, Denbighshire, Wales, in the year 1910. Nestled near the picturesque town of Wrexham, the village of Ruabon is a hidden gem that has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. The image transports us back in time, with its quaint cottages, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carts. The villagers, dressed in their Sunday best, go about their daily routines, oblivious to the passing of time. The children play in the streets, their laughter echoing through the village, while the women tend to their gardens and the men work in the fields. The Village of Ruabon, located in the county of Denbighshire, has a rich history that dates back to the Roman times. It was once an important stop on the Shrewsbury to Chester road, and its strategic location made it a desirable settlement. The village's name is believed to have derived from the Welsh words "rhiw" meaning bank and "abon" meaning river, referring to the River Alyn that runs nearby. Despite the passage of time, The Village of Ruabon has managed to preserve its unique character and charm. Its historic buildings, many of which date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, are a testament to its rich history. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world who are drawn to its idyllic setting and peaceful way of life. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who once called The Village of Ruabon home. It is a reminder of a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace, and community and tradition were at the heart of village life.
