1940s Chimney Nostalgia Public House Tiles Old Buildings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming streets of Wool Lane, Midhurst in June 1949. Tucked away in a small alleyway off the main street, we are transported to a bygone era filled with nostalgia and old-world charm. The signs adorning the buildings catch our attention - one reads "Harris and Sons" hinting at a local business that perhaps thrived during those times. Adjacent to it stands an inviting pub, its name unfortunately obscured from view. However, a window sign proudly displays "Guinness in bottle" suggesting it may be the renowned Bricklayers Arms. This establishment must have been a hub of social activity where locals gathered for pints of their favorite brews. The scene is complete with an enchanting public house chimney rising above the neighboring rooftops, adding character to this picturesque corner of Midhurst. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but admire the well-preserved architecture and intricate tilework on these historic buildings. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a glimpse into everyday life nearly seven decades ago. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed while also celebrating the enduring beauty found within our communities' pasts
