EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting sight of a Little Gem steam traction engine from Billingshurst. Taken by the talented photographer George Garland, this image transports us back to the Chiddingfold-Leconfield Hunt Show on a memorable day in history, September 10th, 1955. The scene unfolds as the magnificent steam engine gracefully passes through Petworth, a picturesque village nestled in West Sussex. The quaint streets lined with charming cottages provide an idyllic backdrop for this vintage vehicle's journey. As it traverses through town, its presence commands attention and admiration from all who witness it. The timeless allure of this steam engine is evident in every detail captured by Garland's lens. From its polished exterior to the billowing clouds of steam emanating from its chimney, it exudes power and elegance simultaneously. This remarkable piece of machinery serves as a testament to an era when such vehicles were at the forefront of transportation technology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back to a time when travel was slower-paced but imbued with charm and character. It reminds us that even amidst bustling traffic and modern advancements, there is still room for appreciation of our rich historical heritage
