EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Rodmell in 1908. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque countryside, a thatch-roofed and timber-framed cottage steals the spotlight. Its unique charm lies not only in its architectural beauty but also in its unconventional placement directly onto the road. The cottage seems frozen in time, preserving a bygone era where simplicity reigned supreme. The thatched roof exudes warmth and character, while the timber frames tell stories of generations past. As we gaze at this idyllic scene, it is impossible not to be transported to a world untouched by modernity. Through this photograph from John Fletcher's collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" we catch a glimpse into rural life at its most authentic. It reminds us of simpler times when nature was our neighbor and community thrived on close-knit bonds. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this image serves as an invaluable historical artifact for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It captures not just a physical structure but also an essence—a testament to human resilience and adaptability against the backdrop of changing landscapes. As we admire this timeless snapshot, let us immerse ourselves in its tranquility and reflect upon how much has changed since then—yet how some things remain constant: our longing for connection with nature and our appreciation for humble abodes that hold so many cherished memories within their walls.
