EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of February 1947, capturing a picturesque scene in Byworth. The village road is blanketed in a thick layer of snow, transforming it into a serene and enchanting sight. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the charming half-timbered buildings lining the street. These architectural gems stand proudly amidst the wintry landscape, their intricate designs adding character and warmth to this cold season. One particular building catches our attention with its vibrant advertisements for Brooke Bond Tea and Hovis Bread. These colorful signs provide a delightful contrast against the snowy backdrop, hinting at bustling activity within these walls during normal times. However, in this frozen moment captured by George Garland's lens, all seems quiet as nature claims its temporary dominion over man-made structures. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia and tranquility as we imagine ourselves strolling down this snowy lane in Byworth. We can almost feel the crispness of the air on our cheeks and hear the satisfying crunch beneath our boots with each step forward. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this remarkable snapshot offers us an opportunity to reflect on simpler times when communities were intimately connected through local shops and shared experiences even amid harsh weather conditions. It reminds us that despite adversity or freezing temperatures outside those shop doors lay warm hearts ready to welcome visitors seeking comfort from hot tea or freshly baked bread – symbols of sustenance during challenging winters past.
