EDITORS COMMENTS
Smuggler's Way, Highcliffe: A Glance into the Past This evocative photograph captures a distant view of Smuggler's Way, a house nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Highcliffe. The house, which began taking shape in 1925, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the area. Despite its relatively recent construction, the use of old materials, such as oak, bricks, and tiles salvaged from ancient barns, gives Smuggler's Way an air of greater antiquity. The image, taken from the sunken garden, reveals the intricate roofline of the house. A harmonious blend of both tiles and heather thatch, the roof adds to the house's charming character and timeless appeal. The heather thatch, a traditional building material once commonly used in the region, is a nod to the area's past and adds a sense of authenticity to the structure. Smuggler's Way, with its old-world charm and connection to the past, stands as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Highcliffe. This photograph, taken circa 1929, invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that the house and its surroundings may hold, transporting us back in time.
