EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Midhurst in West Sussex during the late 19th century. The image showcases a charming thatched cottage, nestled amidst a serene rural landscape. With its timber frame and traditional architecture, this Victorian gem exudes timeless beauty. The cottage stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of West Sussex. Its thatched roof, meticulously crafted from local materials, adds an authentic touch to the scene. One can only imagine the warmth and coziness emanating from within those walls. Surrounded by lush greenery, the cottage is complemented by a well-maintained garden that enhances its idyllic charm. Vibrant flowers bloom alongside neatly trimmed hedges, creating an inviting atmosphere for both residents and passersby. This evocative photograph captures not just a building but also nostalgia for simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. It invites us to reflect on our connection with nature and appreciate the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Preserved within the John Fletcher Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image serves as a window into our past—a visual reminder of how architecture can shape communities and evoke feelings of comfort and belonging
