EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming snapshot from September 1935, we are transported back to a simpler time in Upperton, West Sussex. Two elderly locals can be seen engaging in lively conversation with a group of children over the garden gate. The scene is filled with nostalgia and evokes feelings of warmth and community. The two gentlemen, their faces etched with wisdom and experience, lean on the wooden gate as they captivate the attention of four curious children. One child sits contently in a dolls pram while listening intently to the tales being shared by these kind-hearted elders. This charming image captures an era when conversations were cherished and connections were forged through simple gestures like chatting at the garden gate. It reminds us of a time when technology had yet to dominate our lives, allowing for genuine human interaction that fostered relationships within tight-knit communities. As we gaze upon this photograph from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve such precious moments that encapsulate our history and heritage. This slice-of-life glimpse into Upperton's past serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant – like the power of conversation and intergenerational bonds formed over humble garden gates.
