EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Terry Parker in 1928, captures the ancient bridge over the River Wey at Eashing, Surrey, in the heart of England. The bridge, a testament to the rich history of the region, spans the tranquil waters with grace and elegance, its arches supported by time-worn stone pillars. The River Wey, meandering through the picturesque English countryside, has been a source of inspiration and enjoyment for generations. In the early 20th century, it was a popular destination for Londoners seeking respite from the bustling city. The London and Home Counties Boat Club, established in 1853, was a hub of activity, with members rowing and picnicking along the riverbanks. The photograph reveals a playful scene, with children playing on the bridge, their laughter echoing through the air. The 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of carefree joy and excitement, and this image encapsulates the spirit of the era. The ancient bridge, a symbol of enduring history, stands as a backdrop to the simple pleasures of childhood. The photograph, now over 90 years old, remains a cherished reminder of a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the simple joys of life, while reminding us of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy.
