EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a charming scene in Petworth, November 1947. Standing proudly by "The Masons Arms" pub, we are transported to a time when fairground caravans, coaches, and equipment dotted the streets of this quaint town. The contemporary nature of these vehicles adds an intriguing contrast against the backdrop of the half-timbered inn. The timber frame structure with its daub walls exudes history and character, while the stone lane leading up to it invites us on a journey through time. The inn's sign swings gently in the breeze, beckoning passersby for warmth and refreshment within its cozy confines. This print is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into everyday life during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the visual beauty but also ponder upon stories untold - conversations shared over pints inside those walls or laughter echoing from fairgoers enjoying their rides outside. Let this image transport you to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community spirit thrived. May it remind us of our roots and inspire gratitude for those who came before us, shaping our present-day West Sussex County Council area into what it is today – vibrant yet steeped in tradition.
