EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a sunny day in July 1939 at West Chiltington. The image captures the pure joy and innocence of childhood as five girls engage in various crafts and hobbies. Two of them can be seen skillfully spinning yarn on their spinning wheels, while another girl focuses her attention on a small loom, weaving intricate patterns with nimble fingers. The scene is filled with an air of creativity and learning, as one girl diligently knits a colorful piece while another blows gentle air onto a fluffy rabbit nearby. It's evident that these children are not just indulging in leisurely activities but rather engaging in valuable lessons that will shape their skills for years to come. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when traditional crafts were cherished and passed down through generations. It also highlights the importance of hands-on learning experiences outside the confines of school walls. These young girls are immersed in their craftwork, showcasing dedication and passion beyond their tender years. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N18546, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where weaving, crafting, and spinning were more than mere pastimes – they were integral parts of daily life that fostered creativity and self-expression among children like these ones at West Chiltington all those years ago.
