EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from March 1938, we are transported back in time to the Storrington Beagles Meet at Swan, Fittleworth. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and excitement as the crowd gathers outside a charming rural public house. Nestled amidst lush ivy-covered walls, this quintessential English scene exudes an air of tradition and community. The focus of the gathering is undoubtedly the hunt itself, with members dressed in their finest hunting attire. The master stands proudly at the forefront, donning his riding jacket and britches, while nearby hounds eagerly await their call to action. A pack of beagles adds to the anticipation as they prepare for what promises to be an exhilarating chase through the countryside. Beyond its hunting significance, this photo also offers a glimpse into daily life during the 1930s. The courtyard setting showcases traditional architecture that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when local pubs were not just places for refreshment but also hubs for social gatherings and shared experiences. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this remarkable snapshot allows us to relish in history's rich tapestry. As we admire these men in their jodhpurs and women in elegant dresses observing from afar or mingling amongst themselves, we can't help but feel connected to our past – where traditions were cherished and nature was embraced wholeheartedly
