EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of Victorian England. The image showcases a picturesque road leading to the grand gates of Bersted Lodges in Bognor, West Sussex, circa 1898. This historic lodge was an integral part of Aldwick Manor, serving as the cherished abode for esteemed photographer John Fletcher and his beloved family. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting us to a time when horse-drawn carriages gracefully traversed these very streets. The meticulously maintained road is flanked by lush greenery on either side, hinting at the natural beauty that awaited visitors within the estate's grounds. Bersted Lodge itself stands proudly behind its imposing iron gates, offering just a tantalizing glimpse into its architectural splendor. One can only imagine the stories that unfolded within those walls - tales of opulent gatherings, intimate family moments, and creative inspiration for Mr. Fletcher's photographic artistry. Preserved with care in West Sussex Record Office's John Fletcher Collection (Ref No: PH 26114/2), this remarkable photograph serves as both a testament to local history and an invitation to step into yesteryear. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship captured through John Fletcher's lens but also provides insight into how life once flourished in this idyllic corner of West Sussex
