EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - a Foden diesel lorry fearlessly navigating through the treacherous floods in Beltring, Kent, back in 1936. As rain pours down relentlessly, this powerful vehicle cuts through the water with determination and resilience. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to the interwar period of the twentieth century. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by communities during this time. John Topham's skilled photography showcases not only the truck itself but also its wake, highlighting both its strength and impact on its surroundings. The flooding that engulfs the countryside is evident, emphasizing nature's force against man-made transportation. This snapshot from history offers a glimpse into an era where adaptability was key for those living in rural areas affected by extreme weather conditions. It symbolizes human ingenuity and perseverance amidst adversity. As we admire this photograph today, let it serve as a testament to our ability to overcome obstacles and find solutions even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
