EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of East Grinstead in 1906. The scene captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the vibrant High Street with its charming shops and lively atmosphere. Photographer John HB Fletcher skillfully frames the image, drawing our attention to a set of steps leading up to some quaint storefronts. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling along those very same cobblestone streets. The architecture of the buildings is striking, reflecting the architectural styles prevalent during that period. Each shopfront tells its own story, enticing passersby with their unique wares and services. The photograph is part of John Fletcher's remarkable collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" which offers an intimate glimpse into life in West Sussex during a time when horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on these roads. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this particular piece holds historical significance as it documents an important chapter in East Grinstead's past. While we are unable to ascertain any commercial use for this specific print due to restrictions mentioned by West Sussex County Council, it serves as a valuable visual record that allows us to appreciate and reflect upon how much has changed over more than a century since its capture.
