EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Robertsbridge, specifically Northbridge Street, in the year 1908. The image captures a street view that exudes an air of tranquility and simplicity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that life was different yet equally beautiful over a century ago. The composition showcases a quaint cobblestone road lined with picturesque cottages on either side. The architecture reflects the traditional style prevalent during that era, with their timber-framed structures and sloping roofs covered in rustic tiles. It is as if time has stood still here, preserving the essence of a bygone era. The absence of modern vehicles allows us to appreciate the unhurried pace at which people once lived. Instead, we see pedestrians leisurely strolling along the street or engaging in conversations outside shops and homes. Perhaps they are discussing local news or simply enjoying each other's company amidst this idyllic setting. This remarkable photograph is part of John Fletcher's collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" showcasing his keen eye for capturing moments frozen in time across West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection. Preserved within these archives at West Sussex Record Office, this particular image (Ref. PH 26115/143) serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect on how much has changed since then.
