EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to April 1940, capturing the interior view of the dining room at Swan Hotel Pulborough. The George Garland Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office, has preserved this remarkable piece of history for all to admire. Stepping into this elegant dining space is like stepping into a bygone era. The carefully chosen furnishings exude an air of sophistication and charm that was characteristic of the 1940s. Rows upon rows of exquisite chairs line the room, each one meticulously placed to create a sense of order and refinement. The attention to detail in the décor is simply breathtaking. From the ornate chandeliers hanging gracefully from above to the intricate patterns adorning the walls, every element contributes to an ambiance that is both luxurious and inviting. It's easy to imagine patrons enjoying their meals here while engaging in lively conversations or celebrating special occasions. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, marveling at how different yet familiar it all seems. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a world where elegance reigned supreme and fine dining was an art form. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving historical moments like these through its record office collections, we can appreciate not only our present but also our past - connecting with those who came before us and gaining insight into their lives and experiences.
