EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sussex flower lady, Mrs Mary Cook, is a true icon in the town of Worthing. For 15 years, she has graced the main road just outside of town with her vibrant array of locally grown flowers. This print captures her timeless presence and unwavering dedication to her craft. At 58 years old, Mrs Cook carries on a family tradition that spans generations. Taking over from her mother who took over from her own mother, she proudly upholds their legacy as the beloved Sussex flower lady. Her stall has become an integral part of the community's landscape. No matter the weather or occasion, Mrs Cook never misses a day at her pitch. Even on Christmas Day, when most would be celebrating with loved ones indoors, you will find this remarkable woman tending to her beautiful blooms and serving motorists passing by. The photograph by John Topham perfectly encapsulates Mrs Cook's warm smile and genuine passion for what she does. It is evident that she takes great pride in offering fresh and locally sourced flowers to brighten people's days. This image not only showcases a national character but also highlights the charm and authenticity found within roadside traders like Mrs Mary Cook. She represents the heart and soul of small-town commerce—a testament to hard work and perseverance that deserves recognition beyond commercial use.
