EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter wonderland of February 1929, where joyous laughter and graceful glides filled the air. Set against a picturesque countryside backdrop, Benbow Pond in Midhurst became a magical ice-skating haven for both young and old. The vintage charm is enhanced by the presence of classic cars in the foreground, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to this frozen scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported to a simpler time when Christmas brought families together in merriment. Children bundled up warmly, their rosy cheeks reflecting their excitement as they twirled on skates across the glistening ice. Men and women joined in on the fun too, relishing every moment spent amidst nature's icy embrace. The tranquility of rural life shines through as snowflakes delicately blanket the surrounding fields. It is a sight that evokes feelings of warmth despite the chilly temperatures. This image captures not only a fleeting moment but also preserves memories that have stood the test of time. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as a testament to our enduring connection with tradition and community spirit during wintertime. Let it remind us all to cherish those precious moments shared with loved ones amid nature's beauty – whether it be skating on frozen ponds or simply reveling in each other's company beside crackling firesides.
