EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, titled "Hyden Heath Camp School - 27 September 1945" offers a poignant glimpse into a significant chapter of history. The image showcases a view of wooden buildings encircling an expansive open grass area, evoking memories of bygone days at this national cedar camp school in West Sussex. In the aftermath of World War II, temporary accommodations like Hyden Heath played a vital role in providing shelter and education to evacuees who had been displaced during the conflict. This particular photograph captures the essence of resilience and hope that characterized those challenging times. The scene exudes simplicity and tranquility as children engage in various activities on the lush green grounds. Their laughter echoes through time, reminding us that even amidst uncertainty, moments of joy could be found. The wooden structures stand tall against the backdrop, symbolizing strength and endurance despite their impermanence. Transporting us back to the 1940s era, this nostalgic image also hints at a sense of holiday-like atmosphere within these makeshift surroundings. It serves as a testament to human adaptability and community spirit during times when resources were scarce but determination was abundant. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office with reference number N25426, this remarkable snapshot invites reflection on our shared past while honoring those who sought solace within its walls. Let it serve as a reminder that even in times overshadowed by turmoil, unity can prevail – leaving behind lasting imprints for generations to come.
