EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by John Topham in 1938, transports us back to the peaceful village of Northfleet in Kent. The image showcases a row of charming cottages nestled on a picturesque hillside. As we gaze at this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that these cottages were not just mere dwellings but rather homes filled with stories and memories. The quaint street leading up to the cottages is lined with neatly trimmed hedges and adorned with an elegant lamp post that adds a touch of old-world charm. A sturdy gate stands proudly at the entrance, inviting visitors into this idyllic neighborhood. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of a church porch and lych gate, reminding us of the strong sense of community that must have existed within these walls. Despite being captured during a time between two world wars, there is an air of tranquility emanating from this photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst uncertainty and turmoil, life continued to flourish in small pockets across Europe. John Topham's masterful use of monochrome brings out every intricate detail - from the texture on each cottage's facade to the delicate patterns etched onto their windowsills. This evocative image allows us to step back in time and appreciate both the architectural beauty and human spirit present within these humble abodes. As we admire "Cottages on the Hill in Northfleet" let us be transported to an era where simplicity reigned supreme
