EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village in Chobham, Surrey, England, as it appeared in 1906. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque countryside between Woking and Guildford, this quaint English village has retained its charm and character over the centuries. The photograph, taken over a hundred years ago, reveals a scene of rural tranquility. Horse-drawn carts and carriages line the narrow, cobblestone streets, while villagers go about their daily business in the quaint cottages and shops. The village green, with its ancient oak tree and quaint bandstand, serves as the focal point of community life. The Village, Chobham, was a self-contained community with its own school, church, and pub. The residents were primarily agricultural workers, with many also working in the nearby industries of brickmaking and coal mining. The village's proximity to Woking, a bustling market town, provided access to essential services and supplies. Despite the passage of time, The Village in Chobham remains a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its rich history and idyllic charm. The ancient oak tree on the village green, which is believed to be over 800 years old, is a particular draw for history buffs and nature lovers alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and community spirit was at the heart of daily life. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of rural England and the importance of preserving our historical heritage for future generations to enjoy.
