EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Storrington Coronation Celebrations in May 1937. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with various floats, vintage cars lining the road, and an array of festive decorations. The atmosphere is alive with excitement as people gather to commemorate this historic event. Amidst the backdrop of a quaint English village, Union Jack flags flutter proudly alongside colorful bunting that adorns every lamppost. Despite a light drizzle falling from ominous rain clouds overhead, it does not dampen the spirits of those in attendance. Instead, it adds to the charm and authenticity of this snapshot from yesteryears. The photograph offers glimpses into different aspects of celebration - from a boat-shaped float adorned with patriotic symbols to telegraph poles standing tall amidst cheering crowds. A rac-themed float passes by while spectators marvel at its creative design. Intriguingly, nestled among these scenes are hints at life in the 1830s - a thatched house serving as an enduring symbol of tradition and heritage. Vintage cars line up along the road showcasing their timeless elegance against this nostalgic backdrop. Each vehicle tells its own story, transporting us back to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this remarkable photograph evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communities came together to celebrate momentous occasions like coronations. It serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us how celebrations can bring joy even
