EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of Dorset, England, lies the picturesque village of Piddletrenthide, a charming and idyllic community that has remained largely unchanged since this photograph was taken in 1907. Surrounded by the rolling Dorset Downs, the village is a quintessential example of the English countryside. The image captures the essence of rural life in Dorset over a century ago. The thatched cottages, with their ivy-covered walls and traditional chimneys, huddle together around the village green, where children play and villagers gather. In the distance, the Dorset Downs stretch out, dotted with sheep and dry-stone walls, providing a scenic backdrop to the village. Piddletrenthide is situated between the market towns of Dorchester and Wareham, and the village has a rich history dating back to the Doomsday Book. The name "Piddletrenthide" is believed to derive from the Old English words "piddel," meaning a shallow stream, and "treow," meaning tree. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with residents farming the fertile land and producing dairy products, such as cheese and butter. Today, Piddletrenthide remains a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Despite the passage of time, the village has managed to preserve its unique character, making it a true gem in the Dorset countryside. The image of Piddletrenthide in 1907 serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty and charm of rural England.
