EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to July 1939, capturing a moment in time at Angel Shades Cottage on Angel Street in Petworth. The image showcases the cottage undergoing roof repairs, with an intriguing sign on the wall displaying distances from Petworth to Godalming (16 miles), Pulborough (6 miles), and London (50 miles). The quaint cobblestone pavement adds charm to the scene, while a prominent advertisement board catches our attention with its promotion of Wills Gold Flake Cigarettes. The photograph is part of the George Garland Collection, preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under reference number Garland N18441. It offers a glimpse into everyday life during this era, showcasing both architectural details and commercial influences. Intriguingly, we see a beam and an old ladder leaning against the cottage's exterior wall. These elements suggest ongoing maintenance work or perhaps renovations taking place within this charming abode. The combination of these rustic features against the backdrop of Angel Street creates a nostalgic atmosphere that transports us back to simpler times. While it's unclear what purpose this photo served originally or whether it was intended for commercial use, its historical value lies in preserving snippets of local life in West Sussex County Council's archives. This snapshot allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Angel Shades Cottage but also provides insight into daily routines and cultural trends prevalent during that period.
