EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Try Town, Balcombe, on a sunny day in August 1890. The image showcases a picturesque cottage nestled amidst the idyllic countryside of East and West Sussex. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where life was simpler and communities thrived in close-knit harmony. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the cottage itself, with its rustic timber frame and tiled roof exuding timeless beauty. Standing proudly outside are several individuals whose identities remain unknown but their presence adds depth to this nostalgic scene. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - long dresses for women and tailored suits for men - while their expressions hint at a sense of contentment within this serene rural setting. One cannot help but marvel at how well-preserved this image is, thanks to the meticulous efforts of West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection. This invaluable resource allows us to delve into our local heritage and gain insight into bygone times. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured through photography, let us appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also reflect upon the lives led by those who called these houses home over a century ago. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even as time moves forward relentlessly, it is essential to cherish our roots and preserve our shared past for future generations.
