EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Walter Gardiner Photography collection, we are transported back in time to a quaint corner of Durrington, Worthing. The image captures a group of children sitting on a gate at the junction of Salvington Road and Half Moon Lane around 1914. Their youthful innocence is beautifully juxtaposed against the backdrop of an era long gone. The children's carefree expressions tell tales of simpler times, where joy could be found in the simplest pleasures. One can almost hear their laughter echoing through the streets as they perch themselves on that old gate, basking in each other's company. As our gaze wanders beyond these young souls, we catch glimpses of a bygone world - charming houses lining Salvington Road and Half Moon Lane stretch into the distance. These roads were once witnesses to countless stories unfolding within their walls. This photograph reminds us not only of how much has changed since then but also how some things remain timeless - childhood wonderment being one such constant. It serves as a gentle reminder to cherish those moments when life was filled with boundless curiosity and adventure. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Library Service Photograph and Picture Collections, this snapshot offers us more than just nostalgia; it invites us to reflect upon our own journey through time while celebrating the enduring spirit of youth captured so vividly within its frame.
