EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the aftermath of an unfortunate accident involving a lorry at the bridge near Coultershaw mill in Petworth, back in 1922. The image, part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, showcases a scene filled with intrigue and nostalgia. The foreground is dominated by the wreckage of the lorry, its mangled metal frame entangled with pieces of debris scattered across the stream below. A worn-out fence stands as a silent witness to this unexpected incident. Bystanders and onlookers gather around, their expressions ranging from concern to curiosity. Amidst this chaotic backdrop, an old car parked nearby adds another layer of historical charm to the photograph. It serves as a reminder that accidents have always been part of our human experience. The photo evokes a sense of wonder about what might have caused such an event and how it impacted those involved. It invites us to reflect on how far technology has come since then while also reminding us that accidents can happen anywhere and anytime. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to Petworth in 1922 - witnessing not only an accident but also glimpses into everyday life during that era. This print truly encapsulates both tragedy and fascination within its frames.
