EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back in time to the year 1910. The image showcases the mesmerizing sight of the "Old Mill at Sidlesham" standing tall amidst a sea of floods. Nature's relentless force has transformed the surrounding landscape into an enchanting yet treacherous spectacle. The mill, with its weathered exterior and sturdy structure, stands as a testament to resilience against adversity. Its ancient wheel remains motionless, seemingly frozen in time as it reflects upon its long-standing role within the community. Amidst this watery chaos, a group of school boys can be seen on an elevated platform near the mill. Their curious gazes fixated on both nature's fury and man-made marvels before them. Perhaps they have been drawn here by their insatiable thirst for knowledge or simply captivated by this rare occurrence that has disrupted their daily routines. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how our ancestors lived harmoniously with nature's unpredictable temperament. It invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with Mother Earth and her unwavering ability to shape our lives. Preserved within these photographic archives by West Sussex County Council, this remarkable image allows us to glimpse into history while igniting our imagination about life during those tumultuous times. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past and learn from them so that we may navigate future challenges with grace and fortitude.
