EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1905, capturing the essence of rural life and industrial heritage in West Sussex. The focal point of this image is Cocking Mill, a magnificent windmill that stands tall against the picturesque countryside backdrop. Its sturdy structure proudly represents an era when wind power was harnessed for grinding grain and supporting local industries. The mill's presence symbolizes the importance of trade and industry in this region during that period. It serves as a reminder of how communities relied on such structures to sustain their livelihoods and contribute to economic growth. Additionally, nearby water wheels can be seen, further highlighting the significance of water mills in powering various machinery. This print not only showcases architectural beauty but also captures a moment frozen in time - an era where technology was simpler yet incredibly effective. The attention to detail is remarkable; every blade on the windmill seems ready to catch even the slightest breeze. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this image provides us with a glimpse into our rich history and allows us to appreciate our ancestors' ingenuity. It reminds us of their hard work, determination, and resourcefulness while emphasizing the importance of preserving our rural heritage for future generations
