EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the serene landscape of Hindhead on a spring day in 1945. Standing proudly amidst the lush greenery is Whittaker Whites Temple, an architectural marvel that exudes both grandeur and mystery. The temple, resembling a folly or church, boasts intricate stonework that showcases the craftsmanship of its time. The exterior view captured here allows us to appreciate the temple's unique design and its integration with nature. Surrounded by towering trees and blossoming flowers, it stands as a mausoleum-like shrine in this picturesque setting. Its purpose remains enigmatic, leaving room for speculation and imagination. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into history while evoking a sense of wonder about what stories lie behind these stone walls. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our desire to leave lasting legacies through architecture. As we admire this remarkable image, let us reflect on how structures like Whittaker Whites Temple can inspire awe even decades after their creation. They remind us of our connection with nature and our quest for beauty in unexpected places. This print invites us to explore not only the physical structure but also the emotions it elicits – curiosity, admiration, and perhaps even reverence for those who came before us.
