EDITORS COMMENTS
Otter Hunt - The Meet, Overton Bridge 1907" is an intriguing historical photograph that captures the essence of a bygone era. The image, taken in 1907, depicts a large and lively gathering of people, hounds, and a mixture of both horse-drawn and powered vehicles, all assembled at Overton Bridge for an otter hunt. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the bridge, which today forms part of the Cross Foxes public house. The buildings in the background, now a popular local watering hole, add an interesting layer of historical context to the photograph. The group of people in the photograph, dressed in their finest hunting attire, are seen engaging in animated conversations, no doubt discussing the day's hunt. The hounds, with their keen eyes and alert expressions, are tethered to the vehicles and the ground, ready to be released to track down their quarry. The mixture of horse-drawn carriages and motor vehicles in the photograph is a testament to the rapid technological advancements of the time. The horse and carriage, a traditional mode of transport, sit alongside the more modern automobiles, reflecting the transition from one era to another. The Otter Hunt at Overton Bridge was a popular event in the local community, attracting hunters from far and wide. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and traditions of rural England over a century ago. The image, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, hunting, or the English countryside. It is a reminder of a time when community and tradition were at the heart of rural life, and the natural world was a source of both sustenance and enjoyment.
