EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming countryside of Bignor in February 1938. The image showcases the iconic Bignor General Shop, a hub of rural life during that era. Standing proudly next to this historic establishment is a skilled thatcher hard at work, meticulously crafting a beautiful thatched roof. The scene exudes an air of simplicity and tranquility, with straw scattered around the shop's entrance and wooden stairs leading up to its quaint timber structure. A horse-drawn cart parked nearby hints at the traditional mode of transportation prevalent during those times. Surrounded by lush cottage gardens, this snapshot captures not only the craftsmanship involved in maintaining these idyllic cottages but also provides insight into daily life in rural West Sussex during the 1930s. Preserved as part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into our rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities relied on local shops like Bignor General Store for their everyday needs. As we admire this historical gem frozen in time, let us appreciate both the skillful artistry displayed by the thatcher and cherish our connection to our agricultural roots.
