EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the Storrington Beagles Meet in Fittleworth, March 1938. The image, part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of rural traditions and camaraderie. In this snapshot, we see a bustling crowd gathered along a picturesque country lane. A sense of anticipation hangs in the air as hunters on horseback prepare for an exhilarating day of pursuit. The milepost stands tall, marking their departure point from civilization into nature's embrace. The scene is alive with activity - hounds eagerly awaiting their call to action while riders donning traditional hunting attire exchange stories and laughter. The master of the hunt commands attention as he surveys his loyal pack and plans their route through sprawling fields and dense woodlands. Amidst it all, one cannot help but notice the presence of guns held firmly by experienced hands. These tools serve not only as protection but also symbolize respect for wildlife conservation during these hunts. As we delve deeper into this remarkable photograph, it becomes evident that it encapsulates more than just an event; it represents a cherished way of life passed down through generations. It reminds us to appreciate our connection with nature and honor those who have preserved these timeless traditions
