EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, capturing the timeless charm of The Star Inn in Alfriston, Sussex. Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside of East Sussex, this architectural gem seamlessly blends elements from both the thirteenth and twentieth centuries. Its timber-framed structure stands as a testament to its rich history, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a bygone era where life moved at a slower pace. The avenue leading up to the inn is lined with quaint buildings that add character to this idyllic village setting. In the foreground, we catch a glimpse of people going about their day - men and women strolling along the lane, engaging in conversations or simply enjoying each other's company. The Star Inn itself exudes warmth and hospitality; it beckons passersby with its inviting facade. A group gathers outside its doors - perhaps locals or travelers seeking respite after a long journey. Among them is an elegant lady accompanied by her male companion, adding an air of sophistication to this rustic scene. This beautifully preserved snapshot was originally featured on a cigarette card from W. D. & H. O Wills' "Old Inns" series in 1939 – an homage to Britain's historic pubs and taverns. Today, it serves as a window into our past; reminding us of simpler times when community thrived within these cherished establishments.
