EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection showcases a snapshot of history in Cottage Construction at Balls Cross, Petworth R. D. C. , around 1943. The image captures the essence of wartime housing development during the 1940s, as a partially built row of brick cottages takes shape amidst wooden scaffolding. It is a testament to resilience and determination in times of adversity. The scene is bustling with activity, as piles of tiles and bricks eagerly await their turn in the construction process. Each brick laid represents hope for those seeking shelter during challenging times. The craftsmanship involved in building these cottages is evident, even through this black-and-white photograph. The image transports us back to an era when communities came together to rebuild and create homes amidst chaos and uncertainty. It serves as a reminder that even during war, life continues, and progress can be made. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N22494, this print offers us a glimpse into our past while honoring the hard work put forth by countless individuals who contributed to rebuilding society after destruction. As we admire this historic moment frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the physical structures being erected but also recognize them as symbols of strength and unity amid turmoil – standing tall like sentinels against adversity's tide.
