EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Petworth, nestled in the heart of West Sussex. The year is 1928, and Lombard Street stands frozen in a moment of tranquility and charm. With its cobblestone pavement glistening under the summer sun, this idyllic rural scene exudes an undeniable sense of serenity. In the foreground, a vintage motorcycle with a sidecar steals our attention. A true symbol of freedom and adventure during that era, it adds an element of excitement to this otherwise peaceful setting. One can only imagine the exhilaration felt by its riders as they navigated through these narrow streets lined with quaint cottages and historic buildings. The photograph was skillfully captured by George Garland, whose keen eye for detail immortalizes this slice of history for future generations to appreciate. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image serves as a testament to both his talent as a photographer and his dedication to preserving local heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are transported back in time – standing on those very same cobbles alongside villagers going about their daily lives. The distant church spire provides a gentle reminder that amidst progress and change, some things remain constant: community spirit, timeless beauty, and the enduring allure of small-town life in West Sussex's charming villages like Petworth.
