EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Chichester in the 1940s. Standing tall and proud at the heart of this vibrant scene is the iconic Market Cross, a symbol of community and commerce. The cross itself, adorned with intricate carvings, exudes a sense of history and tradition. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we catch a glimpse of a traffic policeman diligently carrying out his duties. Clad in his distinctive uniform, he stands as a beacon of authority amidst the chaos that surrounds him. With an air of calmness and control, he directs both pedestrians and vehicles through this busy intersection. The image captures not only the physical presence but also the spirit of this historic market town during wartime. Despite its challenges, life goes on; people continue their daily routines while adapting to new circumstances brought about by conflict. This print from West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past. It allows us to reflect upon how communities have evolved over time while still preserving elements that make them unique. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme - when traffic was regulated by human hands rather than automated signals. It reminds us that even amidst change and progress, certain aspects remain constant: like Chichester's enduring Market Cross standing proudly at its center for centuries past – witnessing countless stories unfold around it.
