EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of The Village in Sowton, Exeter, near Clyst St Mary, Devon, England, dating back to the 1950s. This quaint rural community, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Devon, offers a glimpse into a simpler way of life that once thrived in this region. The Village, located in the heart of the Devonshire countryside, is a charming cluster of traditional thatched-roof cottages, each with its unique character and history. In this photograph, we can see the narrow lanes winding between the cottages, leading to the village green where children play and villagers socialize. The scene is completed by the quaint village church, standing proudly in the background, its spire reaching towards the clear blue sky. The 1950s were a time of post-war recovery and optimism in Britain, and this photograph captures the essence of that era. The Village in Sowton represents a time when life was more connected to the land, and community spirit was strong. The simple pleasures of rural life, such as tending to the garden, gathering at the village green, and sharing stories around the fire, were cherished. Today, The Village in Sowton remains a beloved part of Devon's rich history, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience the charm and tranquility of rural England. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the importance of community, tradition, and the natural world.
