EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Horstead Keynes in 1906. The focal point is an old cottage, constructed with a charming timber frame that exudes rustic charm. Standing proudly amidst its surroundings, the cottage is flanked by neighboring outbuildings, adding to the picturesque scene. Outside this humble abode, we witness two men and a little girl basking in the simplicity of rural life. Their presence brings a sense of warmth and human connection to the image. Perhaps they are family members or close friends enjoying each other's company on a sunny day. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is John Fletcher, whose collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" captures various aspects of life in West Sussex during that era. This particular photograph showcases not only architectural beauty but also offers glimpses into everyday life at the time. Preserved within the Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print serves as a precious historical artifact that allows us to appreciate our heritage and reflect upon how much has changed over more than a century. It invites us to imagine what it was like living in such idyllic countryside settings and encourages us to cherish our roots while embracing progress and modernity.
