EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1940, offering a glimpse into the mesmerizing Grey Pit of Amberley Quarry Railway. As we peer into this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn towards the magnificent De Witt Kiln standing proudly in the foreground. The view stretches southwest from High Titten, allowing us to fully appreciate the vastness and grandeur of this quarry. The image is part of the Ronald Shephard Railway Collection, a treasure trove of railway history meticulously preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office. It serves as a testament to their commitment in safeguarding our heritage for future generations. The monochromatic tones add an air of mystery and timelessness to this photograph, transporting us back to an era when steam locomotives ruled these tracks. We can almost hear the rhythmic chugging and feel the vibrations underfoot as trains made their way through this industrial landscape. It is important to note that this photo should not be used for commercial purposes but rather appreciated as a window into our past. Through images like these, we gain insight into how industries such as quarrying shaped communities and landscapes throughout history. Let us take a moment to reflect on those who worked tirelessly within these quarries, shaping them with their bare hands and contributing significantly to our local economy. This print stands as a tribute to their hard work and dedication while reminding us of the rich tapestry that makes up West Sussex's vibrant history.
