EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two thatchers are seen hard at work on the thatched roof of a quintessential English cottage in the picturesque village of East Coker, Somerset. The year is 1989, and the scene transports us back to a time when traditional craftsmanship and artisanal skills were still very much in demand. The thatchers, dressed in typical attire, are perched precariously on ladders, expertly weaving reeds into the roof of the cottage. Their tools of the trade, including a biddle and a legget, are scattered around them, ready for use. The thatchers' faces are focused and determined, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they work in tandem to maintain the integrity of this beautiful thatched roof. The village of East Coker, located near Yeovil in South Somerset, is renowned for its charming thatched cottages, which have stood the test of time for centuries. The thatching process is a labor-intensive and time-honored tradition, requiring a great deal of skill and expertise. The use of locally sourced reeds and the intricate weaving techniques employed by the thatchers ensure that each roof is not only beautiful but also durable and weather-resistant. This photograph captures the essence of rural England in the 1980s, a time when traditional crafts and artisanal skills were still an integral part of daily life. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the English countryside and the dedicated craftsmen and women who keep its traditions alive.
