EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by John Topham in 1935, transports us to Eyhorne Street in Hollingbourne, Kent. It captures a moment of hard work and rural life as we witness the age-old tradition of making clay bricks powered by horses. In this snapshot from between the wars, we are reminded of the resourcefulness and resilience of communities during challenging times. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in brick making. The scene depicts workers engaged in pugging and kneading clay with great precision. A team of heavy horses stands at attention, their strength harnessed to power this labor-intensive process. These magnificent animals play an integral role in shaping our built environment. As we delve into this photograph's details, it becomes evident that every element has its purpose - from the worn-out tools scattered around to the stacks of bricks waiting for firing. This glimpse into a brick works operation gives us insight into an industry that shaped countless towns and cities across Europe during the 20th century. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both human ingenuity and nature's contribution through these working horses. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how collaboration between man and animal can create something enduring - like these sturdy clay bricks that will stand as a testament to generations past for years to come.
