EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ditchling: the village, 1906" takes us on a nostalgic journey back in time to a quaint English countryside. The image beautifully captures the essence of Ditchling's main village street, bustling with life and charm. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn down the street lined with picturesque houses that exude character and warmth. In the foreground, a wagon stands proudly as if frozen in motion, hinting at an era when horse-drawn transportation was still prevalent. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when community connections were forged through daily interactions along these very streets. What truly brings this photograph to life is the presence of children scattered throughout the scene. Their youthful energy fills every corner with laughter and innocence. They playfully engage with one another, oblivious to their surroundings or any worries that may have plagued adults at that time. The John Fletcher Collection has done justice to capturing this idyllic moment in Ditchling's history. Through their lens, they have immortalized not just buildings but also emotions and stories woven into the fabric of this charming village. As we admire this remarkable piece from West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection, it reminds us of how important it is to preserve our heritage for future generations. This image encapsulates both beauty and simplicity while offering a glimpse into a bygone era that will forever hold its place in our hearts.
