EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Chichester Photographic Collection, we are transported back to a significant moment in history. It is the 16th of February 1962, and Miss Muriel Smith, accompanied by esteemed figures such as Mayor Leslie Evershed-Martin and others, pays a visit to the site of the Chichester Festival Theatre while it is still under construction. The image captures a sense of anticipation and excitement as these influential individuals gather amidst an unlandscaped backdrop. The rawness of the surroundings only adds to the charm and authenticity of this snapshot in time. One can almost feel the energy buzzing in the air as plans for this grand theater take shape. This photograph not only documents a pivotal stage in Chichester's cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to human ambition and creativity. It symbolizes how dreams can become reality through determination and collaboration. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's records office with reference number CPS 1067/4, this image offers us a glimpse into our past. As we admire Miss Muriel Smith's presence alongside notable personalities involved in bringing this theater to life, we cannot help but be inspired by their vision. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history captured on film—a reminder that even during times of construction, beauty emerges from chaos.
