EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Eastergate, a quaint village nestled in the heart of West Sussex. The year is 1902, and as we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era. The focal point of the image is a triangular green adorned with a majestic tree that stands tall and proud. Its branches reach out towards the sky, providing shade for those seeking respite from the warm spring sun. Surrounding this natural oasis are charming houses on the right side of the frame, each one exuding its own unique character and charm. On the left side of the photograph, partially hidden behind the grand tree's foliage, lies a small shop. This humble establishment holds within it stories untold - tales of villagers gathering for their daily necessities or exchanging lively conversations over cups of tea. As our eyes wander across this picturesque scene frozen in time, we can almost hear echoes of laughter and footsteps echoing through these historic streets. It serves as a reminder that while times may change and progress may be inevitable, there will always be an enduring beauty found in preserving moments like these. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this remarkable piece offers us an intimate glimpse into Eastergate's past. It allows us to connect with our roots and appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
