Nestled amidst the picturesque village of Ashurst Hill in Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, this weatherboarded house exudes an undeniable old-world charm. From a north-eastern perspective, we are treated to a partial view of this timber-framed beauty that has stood the test of time.

In the foreground stands an enchanting topiary tree adorning the front garden. Its meticulously trimmed branches add a touch of whimsy and elegance to this already idyllic scene.

It invites us to appreciate our built heritage and cherish these glimpses into our past. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition captures both the grandeur and intimacy encapsulated within Ashurst Post Office's walls. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be transported back in time - if only for a moment - relishing in nostalgia and marveling at how much has
