EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bonfire on Bury Hill [1929]" we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion - the Duke of Norfolk's coming of age celebrations. The image captures the essence of an unforgettable night filled with warmth, excitement, and camaraderie. A towering bonfire takes center stage, its flames dancing fiercely against the darkened sky. The crackling fire illuminates the surrounding area, casting a mesmerizing glow upon a ladder leaning against it. This ladder symbolizes ambition and progress as it reaches towards unknown heights. Thick plumes of smoke billow upwards, creating an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the mystique of this historic event. As we gaze at this scene from afar, our eyes are drawn to the majestic South Downs in the distance. Their rolling hills serve as a picturesque backdrop for this grand celebration. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where tradition and heritage were cherished. It reminds us of moments when communities would come together to commemorate significant milestones with fervor and joy. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. Let it transport us back in time and inspire us to celebrate life's milestones with equal enthusiasm and unity today.
