EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from September 1938, we are transported back to the grand opening of the Littlehampton Water Works. The image showcases a remarkable scene, with eager spectators seated outside the impressive Water Works building. Amongst them, a diligent policeman stands watchful, ensuring order and safety on this momentous occasion. Adding to the significance of the event, a Gaumont British News film crew is present to document every detail for posterity. Their cameras poised and ready to capture history in motion. Nearby, an advertisement for "Cosh & Hammond Electric and Radio Services" catches our attention - a reminder of how technology was advancing during that era. Awaiting eagerly are local dignitaries who will soon take center stage to deliver their opening speeches. This inauguration marks not only the birth of an essential utility but also symbolizes progress and development within the community. The photograph exudes nostalgia as it transports us back in time when access to clean water was considered both an amenity and a luxury. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in providing such vital resources for public welfare. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection under reference number N17364, this image offers us a glimpse into our past – reminding us of how far we have come while honoring those who dedicated themselves to improving society's infrastructure.
