EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Compton in 1909. The image showcases a group of charming cottages, each with its own unique character and thatched roofs. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where simplicity and serenity reigned supreme. The composition is carefully framed from the perspective of a road, allowing us to admire the cottages' picturesque setting amidst lush greenery. The thatched roofs add a touch of rustic elegance, evoking feelings of warmth and nostalgia. It's as if these humble abodes have stood the test of time, preserving their timeless charm for over a century. This print is part of the Photographic Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, serving as a valuable historical artifact documenting life in Compton during this bygone era. Through its lens, we catch glimpses into daily life - perhaps families gathered on porches or neighbors exchanging friendly greetings along this idyllic road. As we appreciate this remarkable piece captured more than a hundred years ago, let us reflect on how our world has evolved while cherishing the enduring beauty found within small communities like Compton. This photograph reminds us that even amidst progress and change, there will always be places where tradition and tranquility prevail – forever etching their mark on our collective memory.
