EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a delightful scene of camaraderie and sporting tradition. The image showcases a group of Northchapel Cricketers dressed in an array of old-fashioned costumes, proudly raising their hats as they embark on a jovial journey aboard a charming horse-drawn cart. This unique mode of transportation takes them between the local pub and the cricket pitch, where they will engage in spirited matches that have become legendary within West Sussex. The photograph captures not only the essence of cricket but also encapsulates the rich heritage and community spirit that surrounds this beloved sport. Each cricketer's attire represents different eras, adding an element of whimsy to their already infectious enthusiasm. It is evident that these individuals share a deep passion for both history and cricket, intertwining two cherished aspects of British culture into one joyous occasion. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N16894, this remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to our collective pastime while celebrating the bonds forged through sportsmanship and friendship. As we gaze upon these smiling faces frozen in time, we cannot help but be reminded of how traditions like these continue to bring people together across generations
