EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection captures a dramatic scene of a car stuck in floods at Pulborough, December 1934. The image, preserved by the West Sussex Record Office, showcases the sheer power and devastation caused by a relentless storm that swept through the area. As floodwaters engulfed the streets, leaving them unrecognizable, an old boat and rowing boat can be seen valiantly attempting to navigate through the treacherous conditions. In this chaotic moment frozen in time, we witness a brave rescue effort unfolding before our eyes. A man and lady wade through waist-deep water towards the stranded vehicle - a Ford Prefect with license plate "AYE 141". Their determination is palpable as they battle against strong waves crashing around them. The photograph also highlights other elements of this calamity; a telegraph pole stands tall amidst swirling waters while buildings remain partially submerged. The entire scene exudes an eerie sense of desolation and vulnerability brought on by nature's wrath. As we reflect on this historical event captured so vividly in black and white, it serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience when faced with adversity. It prompts us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of disaster preparedness and response
