EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cottage Sale - 1941" takes us back in time to a bustling scene at Colhook Common. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the sale of cottage contents was an event that brought together people from all walks of life. In the foreground, we see an auctioneer confidently taking bids, surrounded by eager spectators and bidders. Their faces are filled with anticipation as they vie for their desired pieces of furniture up for grabs. The atmosphere is electric, with whispers of excitement and murmurs of competitive offers filling the air. The setting itself adds charm to this snapshot from history. Colhook Common provides a rustic backdrop, enhancing the authenticity and nostalgia that emanates from this photograph. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when community gatherings like these were cherished opportunities to connect with neighbors and friends. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image stands as a testament to our shared heritage and cultural traditions. It allows us to glimpse into the past while reflecting on how far we have come. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over eight decades ago, let it serve as a reminder not only of our rich history but also of our enduring human connection through moments such as auctions – where stories unfold amidst spirited bidding wars over treasured items that hold sentimental value for those who once called them their own homes' furnishings.
