EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a quaint cottage nestled along New Road, leading to the vibrant town of Brighton. The image was captured on a chilly winter day, precisely on the 11th of February in 1890. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque countryside of Ditchling, East Sussex, this charming house exudes an air of nostalgia that transports us to a bygone era. The focus is drawn towards a sign gracefully attached to the building's facade, proudly displaying the name "LS Slater, Lewes & Brighton Carrier". This small detail hints at the bustling activity that once surrounded this humble abode. Imagining horse-drawn carriages arriving and departing from here evokes images of a simpler time when transportation relied upon horsepower rather than engines. The Victorian architecture showcases intricate details and craftsmanship that have stood the test of time. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to enduring quality and timeless beauty. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills typical of rural Sussex landscapes, this cottage harmoniously blends into its natural surroundings. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's General Photographic Collection, this remarkable piece offers an intriguing glimpse into history. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also how life has evolved over generations in these idyllic corners of England's southern coast.
