EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "The Burford Bus" (CC57_00488), captures a unique moment in time in the picturesque town of Burford, Oxfordshire. The image, taken by renowned photographer Henry Taunt around the turn of the 20th century, showcases a horse-drawn bus idling outside The Bull Hotel. The inn, a historic public house with a rich past, stands proudly in the background, its red-brick facade adorned with ornate details. Passengers, dressed in the fashion of the era, are seen standing outside the bus, engaged in animated conversation or simply enjoying the fresh air. The horse, harnessed and ready to continue its journey, gazes calmly at the scene unfolding around it. The cobblestone street, lined with quaint shops and houses, adds to the charm of the setting. Henry Taunt, an accomplished photographer active from the 1860s to 1922, expertly captured the essence of rural England during this period. His work, including this photograph, provides a valuable record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods of the past. The horse-drawn bus, a common sight in rural England during the late 1800s and early 1900s, served as an essential means of transportation for locals and tourists alike. The image of The Burford Bus outside The Bull Hotel stands as a testament to the close relationship between the town's history, its people, and the horse-drawn transport that connected them.
