EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1907, transports us back in time to the quaint and picturesque village of Upwey, nestled in the heart of Dorset, England. Situated between the historic towns of Weymouth and Dorchester, Upwey is a hidden gem that has retained its charm and character throughout the centuries. The image showcases the village's quaint cottages, many of which date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with their thatched roofs and ivy-covered walls. The cobbled streets, lined with trees and shrubs, add to the idyllic scene, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. Upwey's rich history can be seen in the architectural details of the buildings, such as the intricate brickwork and timber-framed structures. The village was once an important center for the wool trade, and its proximity to the River Frome made it an ideal location for mills and fulling mills. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the villagers at the turn of the 20th century. Children can be seen playing in the streets, while adults go about their day, tending to their gardens or running errands. The village green, with its large oak tree, serves as a gathering place for the community. Today, Upwey remains a popular destination for visitors seeking a taste of rural England's history and charm. The village's beautiful gardens, historic buildings, and scenic walks continue to draw tourists from around the world, making it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Dorset.
