EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1906, capturing a picturesque scene of a six-sailed windmill nestled near Lewes on the South Downs. The photographer, John Fletcher, takes us on a visual journey through his collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" showcasing the beauty of this English countryside. The windmill stands tall and proud against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush green fields. Its sails gracefully catch the breeze, symbolizing both its functionality as well as its timeless charm. This image serves as a reminder of an era when windmills played a vital role in grinding grain or pumping water for local communities. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the tranquility that must have enveloped this idyllic location over a century ago. The simplicity of life is reflected in every detail - from the rustic wooden structure of the windmill to the vast expanse of untouched nature surrounding it. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection at their Record Office (Ref. PH 26115/73), this image offers us not only a glimpse into history but also an opportunity to appreciate our connection with nature and simpler times gone by. Let this enchanting photograph transport you to an era where time seemed to stand still, inviting you to wander through Sussex's rich landscapes and immerse yourself in its timeless beauty.
