Sunshine and high temperatures brought out the family motorist - they all seemed to have
Sunshine and high temperatures brought out the family motorist - they all seemed to have the same idea, to get into the countryside around London. The result was that rural beauty spots like Eynsford in Kent became jammed with traffic, as this picture shows. 28th April 1965

EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunshine and high temperatures brought out the family motorist - they all seemed to have the same idea, to get into the countryside around London. The result was that rural beauty spots like Eynsford in Kent became jammed with traffic, as this picture shows. 28th April 1965. In this print by Eric Piper from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a scorching hot day in the summer of 1965. As the sun blazed overhead, families flocked to their cars with one common goal - escaping the bustling city and immersing themselves in nature's tranquility. Eynsford village in Kent provided an idyllic retreat for these urban dwellers seeking respite from their daily routines. However, what awaited them was not just picturesque landscapes but also unexpected chaos on its narrow roads. This snapshot captures a moment when time stood still amidst a sea of vehicles snaking through Eynsford's streets. The Ford Darent River flowing gently alongside serves as a reminder of nature's unwavering presence amidst man-made congestion. Its calm waters mirror both the allure and frustration experienced by those who sought solace within this quaint village. Eric Piper skillfully encapsulates this clash between man and his desire for escape against the backdrop of rural charm. With each passing year, this photograph becomes more than just a nostalgic relic; it becomes a testament to our eternal longing for freedom and connection with our surroundings.
