EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to June 1948 at Stopham Bridge in West Sussex. The image captures a pivotal moment as three skilled labourers diligently repair the stonework of the bridge, showcasing their craft and trade with utmost precision. The workman, a seasoned bricklayer, can be seen meticulously mending the worn-out wall while his companions assist him in moving materials using an old-fashioned wheelbarrow. Their dedication and expertise shine through as they navigate their way around the intricate structure, ensuring every stone is perfectly placed. This snapshot not only immortalizes a significant moment in time but also serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who played an essential role in maintaining vital infrastructure. It reminds us of their invaluable contribution towards preserving historical landmarks for future generations to admire. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N30086, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into our past and highlights the importance of cherishing our heritage. As we marvel at these unsung heroes' craftsmanship and determination, let us appreciate their efforts that often go unnoticed behind such magnificent structures like Stopham Bridge - standing tall thanks to these dedicated workers who built it brick by brick.
