EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bosham, a charming village nestled along the picturesque coast of West Sussex in 1903. As high tide engulfs the area, the buildings stand resiliently against the relentless waves, showcasing both their architectural beauty and vulnerability to nature's forces. Amidst this breathtaking scene, a woman can be seen diligently tending to her laundry by the water's edge. The image exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time when life unfolded at a slower pace. The vintage charm is palpable as we witness daily chores being carried out with grace and determination. This snapshot into Edwardian life offers a glimpse into rural existence in this coastal haven. Bosham's rich fishing heritage is evident in every corner of this photograph - from the boats dotting the harbor to nets strewn across wooden docks. It serves as a reminder that for centuries, these waters have provided sustenance and livelihoods for generations of villagers. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's John Fletcher Collection, this remarkable piece showcases not only Bosham's natural beauty but also its resilience and connection to its maritime surroundings. It invites viewers on an immersive journey through time while evoking feelings of admiration for those who once called this idyllic seaside village home
