EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Journey Through Time: Zig Zag Road, Box Hill, Brockham, Surrey, England (1910s)" 2.. Step back in time and join us on a historical journey to the picturesque village of Brockham, in the heart of Surrey, England. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the iconic Zig Zag Road leading up to Box Hill. The Zig Zag Road, a popular tourist attraction even a century ago, is a unique, winding route that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. This section of the road, located near the villages of Tadworth and Dorking, was specifically designed to make the steep ascent to Box Hill more accessible for horse-drawn carriages and early motor vehicles. The charming village of Brockham, nestled at the foot of Box Hill, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. The area was once a favorite retreat for artists, writers, and royalty, who were drawn to its natural beauty and serene atmosphere. The 1910s were an era of significant change, as the world transitioned from horse-drawn carriages to motor vehicles. This photograph captures a moment in time when the old and the new coexisted, with horse-drawn carriages making their way up the Zig Zag Road alongside early automobiles. As you explore this image, take a moment to appreciate the intricate details – from the horse-drawn carriages and their passengers, to the early motor vehicles, and the picturesque village of Brockham in the background. This photograph is not just a glimpse into the past, but a testament to the enduring charm and beauty of Surrey's Box Hill and its historic Zig Zag Road.
