EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1912, where we find ourselves immersed in the tranquil beauty of Steyning water mill. Nestled in the heart of West Sussex's picturesque countryside, this architectural gem stands as a testament to a bygone era of rural heritage and industry. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the majestic windmill that proudly dominates the landscape. Its towering presence is complemented by the serene pond that surrounds it, reflecting its grandeur with every ripple. This harmonious blend of nature and commerce paints a vivid picture of life in early 20th century West Sussex. The water mill itself exudes an air of craftsmanship and history. Its sturdy structure tells tales of countless hours spent grinding grain into flour, supporting local trade and sustaining communities. It serves as a poignant reminder of how vital these mills were for both sustenance and economic growth during those times. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the rhythmic turning of gears within its walls and feel the gentle breeze rustling through nearby fields. It encapsulates an era when simplicity reigned supreme, yet innovation thrived amidst rural landscapes. This remarkable photograph from John Fletcher's collection at West Sussex Record Office allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also provides insight into our ancestors' way of life – one deeply intertwined with nature's bounty and driven by industrious spirits seeking progress while honoring tradition.
