EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a horse-drawn bus, or carriage, outside the historic Star Hotel in Matfield, Kent, England. Dated back to the late 1890s, this image showcases the quintessential charm of Victorian-era transportation and hospitality. The Star Hotel, now a popular inn run by the Yalding brewery, H.T. Wickham & Co, has been a beloved establishment for travelers and locals alike for over a century. Located in the heart of Matfield, this picturesque village, the Star Hotel offers excellent accommodation for cyclists and weary travelers seeking a cozy respite. This horse-drawn carriage, hailing from Tunbridge Wells, served the neighboring villages of Matfield, Brenchley, and Paddock Wood, providing essential transport links between communities. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where horsepower reigned supreme and the simple pleasures of life were cherished. The Star Inn's rich history is evident in the architectural details of the building, with its intricate brickwork and charming exterior. The horse and carriage add an air of nostalgia and romance to the scene, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The Star Hotel's commitment to preserving the past is evident in its dedication to maintaining the historic charm of its buildings and offering a warm welcome to all who pass through its doors. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the English countryside and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
