EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the monumental construction of Chichester Festival Theatre's roof. The image showcases a pivotal moment in history, as builders from R. Smith (Horley) Ltd work diligently to install the sturdy steel frames on November 17th, 1961. The sheer scale of this project is awe-inspiring, with workers suspended high above the ground, their silhouettes against the sky creating a striking visual contrast. Each frame meticulously placed represents countless hours of planning and craftsmanship, ensuring that future generations can enjoy performances within these walls for years to come. Preserved within the Chichester Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It captures not only the physical labor involved but also embodies an era when grand architectural achievements were celebrated. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since that fateful day in 1961. The Chichester Festival Theatre stands today as a symbol of cultural significance and artistic excellence. Its roof construction remains an integral part of its legacy—a reminder that dreams can be turned into reality through hard work and unwavering dedication
