EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the summer of 1893, capturing a picturesque scene along the shingle beach in Worthing. The image showcases an array of bathing machines lined up on the shore, ready to offer seaside visitors a unique and convenient way to enjoy their day at the beach. Looking eastward, our gaze is drawn towards the magnificent pier that stretches out into the glistening sea. Its grand structure stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess and serves as both a functional pathway and an iconic landmark for those seeking leisurely strolls or panoramic views. The bustling atmosphere depicted in this photograph hints at the popularity of Worthing as a holiday destination during that era. Families can be seen frolicking by the water's edge, children building sandcastles while parents relax under colorful parasols. The air is filled with laughter and joyous chatter, creating an ambiance of carefree bliss. Walter Gardiner's expert photography captures every minute detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also marvel at human ingenuity in designing these ingenious bathing machines. These mobile changing rooms provided privacy for bathers as they discreetly entered or exited from their refreshing dips in the sea. As we admire this historic snapshot from West Sussex County Council's library service collection, we are reminded of simpler times when coastal towns like Worthing offered respite from everyday life. This evocative image invites us to imagine ourselves stepping into its frame and experiencing firsthand what it was like to
