EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bustling street in Steyning on a summer day, precisely on the 27th of July in 1889. The image showcases an exquisite clock tower that proudly stands tall, overseeing the vibrant scene below. Surrounding it are several charming shop fronts, each telling its own story of business and trade during this era. One particular storefront catches our attention - a cobblers' shop with its door slightly ajar. It invites us to imagine the skilled craftsman inside, diligently repairing worn-out shoes for the townsfolk. This snapshot from the General Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office allows us to glimpse into Victorian commerce and witness how essential trades like cobbling played a crucial role in daily life. The architecture of these buildings is simply mesmerizing; they exude an air of nostalgia and evoke feelings of admiration for their intricate designs. As we observe this slice of history frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the urban landscape that once thrived here. This photograph serves as a testament to West Sussex's rich heritage and offers valuable insights into 19th-century life in East and West Sussex. It reminds us how much has changed over time while also highlighting elements that have stood the test of time
