EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the crowd following the Storrington Beagles Meet in Swan, Fittleworth, back in March 1938. The image is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a quaint country lane nestled amidst picturesque rural landscapes. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as children and men gather along the road, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the hunt. Winter's touch can be felt through their bundled-up attire, hinting at chilly temperatures that only add to their excitement. The fields stretch out before them like an endless canvas painted with nature's hues. It is here that tradition meets adventure as these individuals embark on a thrilling hunting expedition through the countryside. Their enthusiasm is palpable; you can almost hear their animated conversations and feel their anticipation building. This photograph encapsulates not just a specific event but also reflects an era long gone - the 1930s when such hunts were commonplace and held great significance within local communities. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to nature and how it has shaped our lives throughout history. With its timeless charm and evocative imagery, this print stands as a testament to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our heritage for generations to come.
