1820 Derelict Grade Ii Listed Relic Turnpike
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1948, capturing a glimpse of history through the lens. The image showcases "The Old Toll Gate House at Ashcombe" standing as a relic from an era long gone. Located on a narrow winding road, this small circular brick structure tells tales of its past as a turnpike established in 1820. Time has not been kind to this once bustling toll gate house, as it now stands in a state of disrepair. Its weathered exterior and crumbling walls bear witness to the passage of time and neglect. Despite its dilapidated condition, there is an undeniable charm that emanates from this listed Grade II building. In the foreground of the photograph, we notice a warning road sign on the right-hand side that reads "Narrow Winding Road". This serves as a reminder of how different transportation was during those times compared to our modern highways and expressways. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our rich heritage and appreciate the efforts made by organizations like West Sussex County Council in safeguarding these historical treasures for future generations
