Edwinstowe Nottinghamshire Notts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential charm of Edwinstowe, a historic village nestled in the heart of Nottinghamshire, England. Dating back to circa 1910, the image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as we see horse-drawn carts and locals going about their daily business on the village's cobblestone streets. Edwinstowe, which translates to 'God's Valley', has a rich history that dates back to the Doomsday Book of 1086. The village is perhaps most famously associated with the legend of Robin Hood, who is said to have hidden in the nearby Sherwood Forest. The forest, which covers over 400 acres, has been a source of inspiration for generations, with its ancient oaks, winding paths, and mythical tales. The photograph showcases the village's picturesque setting, with its stone cottages, thatched roofs, and quaint shops. The village green, which can be seen in the background, is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, with its ancient maypole standing proudly at its center. Despite its small size, Edwinstowe has a rich cultural heritage, with numerous historical sites and landmarks. The village church, St. Mary's, dates back to the 13th century and is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The nearby Thoresby Hall, a stunning stately home, is another popular attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulence of the past. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the timeless beauty of Edwinstowe. It invites us to imagine the stories and tales that unfolded on these very streets over a century ago, and to appreciate the village's enduring charm and history.
