EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque village of Brasted, Kent, England, this photograph captures the essence of traditional 19th century Kentish tiled cottages. The cottages, adorned with intricately designed tile-hanging, exude a charm that transports us back in time. The tiles, handcrafted and meticulously placed, not only serve as a protective layer against the elements but also add an aesthetic appeal to these quaint structures. The Kentish style of tile-hanging originated in the 16th century and gained popularity during the 19th century. Each tile is individually cut and shaped, often with a distinctive wavy edge. The tiles are then secured to the walls using lime mortar, creating a unique and visually appealing texture. These cottages, with their warm, inviting exteriors, are a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Kent. The county, located in the southeastern part of England, is known for its rolling hills, orchards, and charming villages. The tile-hung cottages are a defining feature of the Kentish landscape and are a source of pride for the local community. The photograph, taken in the 19th century, captures the timeless beauty of these cottages. The tiles, weathered by time, add character to the structures, making them all the more endearing. The lush greenery surrounding the cottages adds to the serene beauty of the scene, making it a popular subject for artists and photographers alike. The Kentish tiled cottages at Brasted are a reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and simplicity was the key to happiness. They continue to inspire and delight visitors to this day, making them an enduring symbol of the rich architectural and cultural heritage of Kent, England.
