EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Kirdford in May 1946. The image showcases a charming view of the main street, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this rural community. Standing proudly on the corner is a classic brick post box, serving as a reliable communication hub for residents during that era. Adjacent to it, we see an inviting shop front adorned with the name "Thompson & Son". This local establishment likely played an integral role in providing essential goods and services to the villagers, fostering a sense of community spirit. Its presence adds character and warmth to this quaint scene frozen in time. Dominating the foreground is a loaded hay wagon, symbolizing both tradition and hard work. It serves as a reminder of Kirdford's agricultural roots and its reliance on farming practices for sustenance. This idyllic countryside setting is completed by narrow lanes winding through lush green fields, evoking feelings of tranquility and simplicity. The George Garland Collection has preserved this remarkable photograph which now resides at West Sussex Record Office. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical significance, it offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the past while appreciating how much has changed over seven decades
