EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to July 1939, offering a glimpse into the bustling High Street of B. S. Austens Shop. The scene is alive with activity as pedestrians stroll along the road, passing by various shops and establishments. In the foreground, we see B. S. Austens hardware shop proudly displaying its wares through large windows adorned with advertisements. Next door, Eugene Kerka Jamals Hairdressing catches our attention with its eye-catching sign advertising "Up to date saloons and methods" for both ladies and gentlemen. The mention of "permanent waving" piques our curiosity about the hair trends of that era. Further down the street, C. H. E Bowyers shop stands tall, possibly a chemist's establishment judging by its façade. Its presence adds to the charm of this historic snapshot. The image also captures elements that transport us back in time: an old-fashioned bicycle parked on the sidewalk and a roadsign pointing towards other outlets nearby. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph offers a fascinating window into life before World War II engulfed Europe in chaos and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this slice of history frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the decades while honoring these iconic businesses that once thrived on this very spot along West Sussex County Council's jurisdictional boundaries.
