EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1948, where a quaint tea room named The Wayside Cafe near Bolney stands proudly on the new London to Brighton road. The proprietor, Bannister Maitland, can be seen meticulously arranging chairs outside while his dedicated waitress, Pamela Payne, prepares the tables inside. The atmosphere is serene as sunlight gently filters through the windows of this charming establishment. It's a scene that evokes nostalgia for simpler times when people would stop by for a cup of tea and some respite from their journey. The cafe offers more than just hot beverages; it boasts an enticing menu featuring classic favorites like eggs and bacon. As patrons enter through its doors, they are greeted with warm smiles and hearty meals that leave them feeling satisfied and content. Notably parked nearby is a scrap metal truck - perhaps a reminder of the post-war era when resources were scarce but determination was abundant. This print captures not only the essence of The Wayside Cafe but also serves as a window into history itself. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk in their extensive archive collection, it allows us to appreciate the simplicity and charm of life in mid-20th century Britain.
