EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic moment in Westcott, Surrey, where a woman and child stand in awe before the iconic Westcott village sign. The sign itself is an exquisite sight to behold - a small thatched dovecote proudly perched atop it, crowned by a whimsical weathervane. It's as if time stands still as they gaze up at this charming piece of history. The craftsmanship of this village sign is truly remarkable; every detail meticulously designed by Charles George Harper between 1892-1933. The signs pointing towards Guildford and Dorking add an element of practicality amidst the picturesque scene. In this illustration brought to life through photography, one can't help but wonder about the stories behind these characters. What thoughts occupy their minds?

Through Historic England's lens, we get glimpses into moments frozen in time like this one – capturing not only architectural wonders but also human connection with our past.
