EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to November 1970, capturing the re-thatching of the iconic Manor Inn at Preston in all its nostalgic glory. The image transports us to a bygone era, where thatched roofs were a common sight across the charming villages of England's South West. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the craftsmanship and dedication required to maintain these traditional structures. A skilled thatcher can be seen meticulously working on the roof, carefully weaving each strand of straw with expertise passed down through generations. The seventies ambiance is palpable in every detail - from the vintage clothing worn by onlookers to the classic cars parked nearby. This photograph not only documents an architectural restoration but also serves as a time capsule for 20th-century life in rural Devon. It is fascinating how such images evoke feelings of nostalgia and transport us back to simpler times. They remind us of our roots and heritage while showcasing the beauty found within everyday scenes like this one. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' dedication to preserving historical moments like these, we have an opportunity to appreciate and reflect upon our shared past. Let this remarkable print serve as a reminder that even mundane activities hold immense value when viewed through a lens steeped in history.
