EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history, showcasing the renowned "Peggy Bedford Inn" on the Bath Road in Colnbrook. Dating back to the 15th century, this famous hostelry is a treasure soon to be lost. Its walls have witnessed countless tales of intrigue and merriment, with notable visitors including Nell Gwynne, King Charles, and even Dick Turpin himself. The image transports us back to September 26th, 1928 - an era when monochrome photography was at its peak. Alfieri's lens skillfully freezes time as we gaze upon this ancient building nestled amidst picturesque trees along the road. The inn's exterior exudes a sense of character and charm that only comes with age. One cannot help but imagine the stories that unfolded within those walls throughout centuries gone by. It is said that the landlord once brewed his own beer in those very vats or coppers - a testament to craftsmanship and tradition. As we admire this Europeana photograph from the 1920s, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve our historic landmarks for future generations. The Peggy Bedford Inn stands as a symbol of cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of our connection to the past. Alfieri's artistry allows us to appreciate not just an old pub on a road but also an invaluable piece of history frozen in time through his lens.
