This print transports us back in time to the year 1910, offering a mesmerizing view of the Old Shoreham bridge. Taken from the serene river bank, this image captures the essence of West Sussex's rich heritage and picturesque countryside. The Old Shoreham bridge stands proudly as a testament to both engineering prowess and historical significance. Its elegant arches gracefully span across the tranquil waters, creating a seamless connection between land and water. This channel crossing played an integral role in facilitating transport during the early 20th century, serving as a vital link for locals and travelers alike. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we are reminded of how our ancestors relied on such structures to navigate their way through life. The old-world charm exuded by this photograph evokes feelings of nostalgia and reverence for those who came before us. The untouched beauty of nature surrounding the bridge adds another layer of enchantment to this image. The calm waters reflect the vibrant hues of green that dominate West Sussex's countryside, creating a harmonious blend between man-made marvels and Mother Nature's artistry. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's John Fletcher Collection at the Record Office, this print serves as an invaluable window into our past.
