EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque Eden Valley in Cumbria, England, lies the quaint and historic village of Crosby Garrett. This photograph, captured in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the village's charming character and simplicity. The image portrays a serene scene, with the village's stone cottages huddled together, their ivy-covered walls and thatched roofs reflecting the passage of time. The village green, dotted with trees and surrounded by a low stone wall, serves as the heart of the community, where residents would gather for social events, games, and leisurely strolls. The rolling hills and lush greenery that surround Crosby Garrett are a testament to the natural beauty of the area. The village's location in the Eden Valley, nestled between the Pennines and the Lake District, provides breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere. The nearby River Eden, meandering through the valley, adds to the idyllic setting, offering opportunities for fishing and picnicking. Despite its small size, Crosby Garrett boasts a rich history. The village was once an important stop on the Roman road that connected the east and west coasts of England. The remains of a Roman fort, as well as several medieval structures, can still be found in the area. The village's name, Crosby Garrett, is believed to have originated from the Old English words 'croesbege' meaning 'cross' and 'geard' meaning 'enclosure' or 'yard,' reflecting the village's early history as a religious and agricultural settlement. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rural life and history of Crosby Garrett in the 1930s. The village's timeless charm continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to experience the peace and tranquility of this hidden gem in the heart of Cumbria.
