This print from the George Garland Collection, titled "Houghton corner - August 1943" offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. The image showcases a picturesque country road winding its way past a charming barn and a half-timbered thatched house. Nestled in West Sussex's idyllic landscape, this scene exudes tranquility and rural beauty. The enchanting view is enhanced by various elements that evoke a sense of timelessness. A quaint gate stands proudly at the entrance of the lane, inviting curious wanderers to explore further. A stone wall gracefully lines the roadside, adding character to the surroundings while serving as a reminder of enduring craftsmanship. Intriguingly, an old cart rests nearby, hinting at days gone by when horses were relied upon for transportation and agriculture. This subtle detail adds depth to the photograph and sparks curiosity about life in Houghton during that era. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's vast collection, this remarkable snapshot allows us to step back into history and appreciate the simplicity and charm of rural England in 1943. It serves as both an educational resource for future generations interested in local heritage and an opportunity for all viewers to immerse themselves in a moment frozen in time
