EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to the picturesque village of Compton & West Marden in October 1948. The image beautifully captures a serene view of a quaint lane that winds its way through this rural haven. As our eyes wander, we are greeted by charming cottages on either side, exuding an old-world charm that transports us to a simpler time. On the right-hand side stands the iconic Victoria Inn, proudly displaying its name on an inviting sign hanging above the entrance. This historic pub has surely witnessed countless tales and laughter throughout the years, serving as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. To add to the idyllic scene, a peaceful pond graces our left-hand side. Its tranquil waters reflect the surrounding beauty and provide respite for wildlife and passersby seeking solace in nature's embrace. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that even in 1940s rural England, signs of modernity were present. A road sign points towards unknown destinations while telegraph poles stand tall along the lane—testaments to progress intertwining with tradition. The stone structures scattered throughout further enhance this timeless ambiance—a reminder of enduring craftsmanship passed down through generations. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office (Ref No. N30723), this remarkable photograph allows us to glimpse into Compton & West Marden's past—a moment frozen in time where simplicity reigned supreme amidst stunning natural surroundings.
