The Prince of Wales PH

This peaceful street scene from Mountnessing village, near Ingatestone, captures the slower rhythm of Edwardian life in rural Essex. A man stands beside his horse and cart outside The Prince of Wales public house, a Ridley’s Ale sign proudly displayed above.

The unpaved road, the white picket fence, and the presence of modest figures walking in the distance all contribute to a sense of community simplicity—a village not yet touched by the roaring speed of modernity. It is a world of local pubs, quiet lanes, and familiar faces.

Today, such moments seem almost dreamlike, but thanks to photos like this, we can still peer through the mists of time.
