EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of Westergate in 1905. Nestled amidst a serene countryside, two charming cottages stand side by side under one thatched roof, exuding an undeniable rustic charm. The craftsmanship evident in their construction is truly remarkable. The focal point of this image lies in the unique architectural feature of one cottage - an enchanting eyebrow window adorning its facade. This distinctive design element adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise traditional structure, creating an eye-catching contrast against the thatched roof. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the stories these cottages hold within their walls. Perhaps they were home to hardworking families or served as cozy retreats for weary travelers seeking respite from their journeys. Regardless, it's clear that these cottages have witnessed countless moments of joy and sorrow throughout their existence. Preserved with care by the Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when life was simpler and communities thrived on close-knit relationships. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate the beauty found in even the humblest dwellings
