EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the haunting era of October 1930, capturing a rear view of the hospital within The Workhouse in Petworth. The image showcases three inmates sitting solemnly in chairs, their expressions revealing stories untold. Preserved as part of the esteemed George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into a bygone time. The atmosphere is palpable as we observe these individuals amidst the tranquil garden setting that surrounds them. Nature's beauty juxtaposes with their somber presence, creating an intriguing contrast that begs further exploration. Each chair holds its own tale; each inmate carries burdens known only to them. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond commercial use. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and sheds light on societal structures that have evolved over time. This print allows us to reflect upon the lives lived within those walls and sparks conversations about compassion, empathy, and social progress. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving such invaluable records like this one from The Workhouse - Petworth collection, we are granted access to moments frozen in time.
