EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The image showcases an external view of a charming white walled house with a thatched roof, nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Long Platt, Nutbourne. It is November 1946, and the scene exudes tranquility and rustic charm. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the unique roofing material - reeds meticulously woven together to create a sturdy yet aesthetically pleasing thatched roof. This traditional method has been employed for centuries in English countryside homes, providing excellent insulation against both cold winters and scorching summers. The house itself stands as a testament to timeless architecture and craftsmanship. Its whitewashed walls contrast beautifully with the natural surroundings, blending harmoniously into its rural setting. One can almost imagine smoke billowing out from its chimney on chilly autumn evenings or hear the distant sound of farm animals grazing nearby. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N27412, this print captures not just an external view but also offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace in these idyllic country settings
