EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back in time to witness the arrival of typewriters on the steps of County Hall in Chichester. The image showcases four men and a young boy proudly posing with their newly acquired office equipment, surrounded by an air of excitement and anticipation. As our gaze is drawn towards the foreground, we cannot help but notice the iconic Remington Typewriter Co Ltd delivery van parked prominently beside them. This snapshot captures a moment that symbolizes progress and modernization within clerical work during that era. The typewriters themselves represent efficiency, precision, and innovation - essential tools for any bustling office environment at the time. These machines were not just mere objects; they embodied a new way of conducting business and revolutionized communication. The delivery men who stand alongside these marvels play an integral role in ensuring that these state-of-the-art devices reach their intended destinations promptly. Their presence adds a touch of authenticity to this scene as they epitomize hard work and dedication. As we immerse ourselves in this nostalgic photograph, it serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when typewriters were at the forefront of cutting-edge office equipment. This remarkable piece from West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty captured within its frame – transporting us back to an era where typewriters reigned supreme in offices around Chichester
