EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1937 in Horton Kirby, Kent. The distinguished figure of Sir Waldron Smithers stands proudly at the entrance of the Hall, ready to officiate its grand opening. As a prominent public figure, Sir Waldron exudes an air of authority and importance. The scene is filled with excitement as a crowd gathers around him, eagerly awaiting his words. The atmosphere is palpable with anticipation and admiration for both the man himself and the magnificent building before them. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Flowers adorn every corner of the hall's entrance, adding a touch of elegance and beauty to this momentous occasion. They symbolize growth, prosperity, and new beginnings – fitting symbols for such an auspicious event. Photographer John Topham expertly captures not only the physical elements but also manages to convey the emotions felt by those present on that day in 1937. This photograph serves as a testament to an era between two world wars when hope was rekindled through community gatherings like these. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography from the twentieth century, we can't help but feel connected to history itself – witnessing firsthand how important buildings were celebrated during times of change and progress.
