EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kits Coty House AL2400 / 033 / 01" takes us back to the year 1880 in Aylesford, Kent. The image is attributed to Flaxman Charles John Spurrell, a renowned photographer of his time. Within Spurrell's photograph album lies this precious snapshot of Kits Coty House, an ancient Neolithic long barrow and burial chamber. Intriguingly, this particular picture was taken before the implementation of the Ancient Monuments Protection Act in 1882. This act marked a significant turning point in history as it recognized the necessity for government intervention in safeguarding our nation's ancient monuments. Fast forward eight years later to 1888 when Spurrell captured another shot of Kits Coty House under "The Act". This subsequent photograph reveals iron railings that were erected to restrict public access and prevent further damage to this remarkable monument. As we delve into these images, we can't help but notice graffiti etched onto one of the upright stones and worn ground surrounding the site. These subtle details serve as poignant reminders of human interaction with these prehistoric structures throughout time. Preserved within Historic England's archive collection, this Victorian-era print offers a glimpse into both our past and present understanding of heritage preservation. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on protecting our cultural treasures for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
