EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the picturesque countryside of West Sussex in February 1938. The image captures a moment frozen in history as a lady gracefully exits the charming Bignor General Shop. The rural setting is adorned with a thatched timbered cottage, its eaves covered in lush ivy that adds an enchanting touch to the scene. The straw roof blends harmoniously with the surrounding countryside, creating an idyllic backdrop for this snapshot from yesteryears. The lady herself exudes elegance, wearing a fur collar that frames her face delicately. With each step she takes down the worn wooden stairs leading up to the shop's entrance, she embodies both poise and purpose as a loyal customer. This glimpse into daily life during the 1930s offers us a window into simpler times when local general stores were at the heart of communities like Bignor. It reminds us of an era where personal connections were forged through these small businesses. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this print serves as a testament to our shared heritage and invites us to reflect on how much has changed since then. As we admire this timeless image, let it transport us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme amidst nature's beauty and human connection thrived in every corner of our beloved countryside.
