EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque landscapes of Cissbury and Findon, near Worthing, in the late 19th century. The image showcases the stunning beauty of this region, with Cissbury Ring majestically standing in the background. In the foreground, three elegantly dressed Victorian women stand on Church Hill, gazing across the valley towards Cissbury. The women's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, their dresses exuding grace and sophistication. As they take in the breathtaking view before them, one can only imagine what thoughts might have occupied their minds during this serene moment. The rolling downs stretch out as far as the eye can see, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The lush greenery contrasts beautifully against a clear blue sky above. This photograph is part of Walter Gardiner's Photography Collection and serves as a testament to his talent for capturing timeless moments in history. Preserved by West Sussex County Council Library Service Photograph and Picture Collection (WSCC), it allows us to appreciate our heritage and transport ourselves into an era long gone. As we admire this remarkable image today, let us be reminded of how fortunate we are to have access to such glimpses into our past. It is through these visual treasures that we can connect with our roots and gain a deeper appreciation for both our local history and natural wonders like Cissbury Ring.
