EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: High Street, Lancing, Sussex in the 1910s High Street, Lancing, in the quaint town located near Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex, England, presents a captivating view in this photograph dating back to the 1910s. The image, taken during a time of significant change, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this charming English town. The High Street, the central thoroughfare of Lancing, is lined with a variety of shops and buildings, each with its unique character. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons are parked along the side of the road, while people dressed in period clothing go about their daily business. The cobblestone street, worn smooth by the passage of time and the wheels of countless vehicles, adds to the authenticity of the scene. On the left side of the street, a baker's shop with a large sign displaying a loaf of bread and a rolling pin can be seen. Further down, a butcher's shop with a large display of meats and a horse-drawn cart parked outside adds to the bustling atmosphere. Across the street, a group of children play in the street, their laughter echoing through the air. The photograph also reveals the presence of a post office, a pharmacy, and a grocery store, all of which served the local community during this era. The absence of modern conveniences such as cars and electricity adds to the sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This photograph is an invaluable record of life in Lancing during the 1910s, offering a unique insight into the daily lives of its residents and the character of the town. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Lancing and the surrounding areas today.
