EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village in Bantham, Devon, England, as it appeared in 1907. Nestled near the historic market town of Kingsbridge and the picturesque village of Thurlestone, Bantham Village has long been a beloved destination for visitors seeking a taste of rural English charm. The photograph reveals a quaint and idyllic scene, with traditional thatched-roof cottages clustered around the village green. The cobbled streets, lined with ancient trees and hedgerows, evoke a sense of timeless beauty and tranquility. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart makes its way along the narrow lane, adding a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. Bantham Village has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. Over the centuries, it has been shaped by the surrounding landscape and the economic activities of its residents, from fishing and agriculture to shipbuilding and tourism. The village's proximity to the sea and the estuary of the River Avon has also made it a popular destination for sailors and mariners. Despite its small size and rural setting, Bantham Village has a vibrant community spirit, with a range of local amenities and attractions. The village green is the heart of the community, where residents gather for events and celebrations. The nearby beach and estuary offer opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating, while the surrounding countryside is ideal for hiking, cycling, and birdwatching. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past, capturing a moment in time and offering a glimpse into the history and character of Bantham Village. It invites us to imagine the lives of those who lived there over a century ago and to appreciate the enduring beauty and charm of this special place.
