EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1933, we find Gladys Calthrop, a renowned British theatre designer, in her unique and inspiring home nestled in the picturesque village of Charing, Kent. The former mill, now transformed into a charming residence, is a testament to Calthrop's creative spirit and her deep connection to the English countryside. As we step into the image, we are greeted by the sight of Calthrop, seated in a cozy armchair, her eyes thoughtfully fixed on the watery scene outside. The room, filled with natural light filtering through the large windows, is adorned with rustic beams and a grand fireplace, exuding an inviting and warm ambiance. The presence of goats in the room adds an intriguing touch to the scene, as they seem to share the space with their human companion. The mill's conversion has allowed for a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living, with the animals roaming freely within the confines of the building. The mill's industrial past is subtly reflected in the room's design, with exposed brickwork and original wooden beams creating a striking contrast against the soft furnishings and delicate fabrics. The overall effect is one of comfort and tranquility, a perfect retreat for an artist and designer like Calthrop. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a remarkable woman, whose innovative work in theatre design left an indelible mark on the British stage. The House That Was a Mill stands as a symbol of Calthrop's creativity, her love for the countryside, and her ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
