This photo print, titled "Hurdle making in Cuxton, Kent. 1937" transports us back to the English countryside during the interwar period. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this image beautifully captures a snapshot of rural life in the 1930s. In this scene, we see a skilled craftsman diligently crafting hurdles - traditional fences made from woven branches - which were commonly used as boundary markers in farming communities. The man's focused expression and his expert use of tools such as hammers and nails demonstrate his mastery of this age-old craft. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the simplicity and authenticity of rural life during that era.
