EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1939, the Fernhurst May Revels come to life with vibrant energy and joy. A group of ten children gracefully dance around a beautifully adorned May Pole, their colorful ribbons intertwining in a mesmerizing display. The May Queen and her Attendants stand nearby, radiating regal elegance as they watch the enchanting spectacle unfold. The revelry is not limited to the dancers alone; a lively crowd of spectators gathers around, eagerly taking in every moment of this springtime celebration. In the background, several contemporary cars are parked, indicating the presence of an enthusiastic community that has come together for this special occasion. Beyond the festivities lies a picturesque field where it seems that a cricket match or practice is underway. The distant sounds of bat hitting ball and cheers from players further enhance the atmosphere of camaraderie and merriment permeating throughout this charming village. Preserved within George Garland's remarkable collection at West Sussex Record Office, this timeless image encapsulates the essence of tradition and unity found in rural communities during festive seasons. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of childhood innocence and playfulness that transcends generations
