EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1908, capturing a picturesque scene of rural charm. Nestled atop a gentle hill, we are greeted by the enchanting sight of Brightling, a quaint thatched cottage that seems straight out of a storybook. The thatched roof adds an element of rustic beauty and evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. The composition is perfectly balanced, with the charming cottage positioned on the left side of the frame against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. It effortlessly blends into its natural surroundings, as if it has always been there, harmonizing with nature's palette. This remarkable image is part of the John Fletcher Collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" which offers glimpses into idyllic landscapes and hidden gems within West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office, this particular photograph (Ref. PH 26115/152) captures not just an architectural marvel but also serves as a testament to our rich history and heritage. As we admire this timeless snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those days - perhaps filled with tranquility and simplicity amidst breathtaking scenery. This print allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the enduring beauty found within our county's borders.
