EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, between the wars, capturing a moment in time at Challock Cross Roads in Kent. The focal point of the image is a roadside well located near the Half Way House Inn, which stands proudly in the background. The well itself is adorned with a sturdy winch and an old-fashioned bucket, evoking memories of simpler times when water was drawn by hand. A signpost nearby points travelers towards their desired destinations, adding to the charm and nostalgia of this scene. The well cover sits firmly atop its stone structure, protecting this vital resource from any harm or contamination. Intriguingly, parked beside the well is a vintage car - possibly a Ford Model A - suggesting that even during those years between two world-altering conflicts, life carried on with some semblance of normalcy. A man can be seen standing next to his vehicle; perhaps he has stopped for refreshments at the nearby pub after tending to his journey's needs. John Topham's expert eye for detail captures not only these elements but also provides us with an insight into everyday life during this period. This monochrome photograph transports us back through time and allows us to appreciate both history and simplicity in one frame.
