EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of life in Uffington, Oxfordshire back in 1916. In the foreground stands a family group, proudly posing outside their quaint cottage. Their expressions reveal a sense of contentment and togetherness, reflecting the simplicity and charm of rural living during that era. However, it is the background that truly intrigues. A fascinating frame for a lifting canal bridge looms behind them, serving as a reminder of the once bustling waterway that connected Semington to Abingdon. This canal was an essential lifeline for trade and transportation from 1810 until its closure in 1914. Photographed by Frederick Ault, this image is part of the renowned Henry Taunt collection housed at Historic England's archive. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we catch glimpses of both human connection and industrial progress intertwined within one frame. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to an era where childhood memories were shaped by simpler pleasures amidst picturesque landscapes. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and how communities have evolved over time.
