EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Racton in 1908. The image showcases a picturesque cottage with a charming thatched roof, nestled amidst a beautifully manicured garden. It is as if we have stepped into a storybook scene, where time stands still and tranquility reigns. The thatched roof exudes an air of rustic elegance, evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. Its intricate design speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this era. One can only imagine the cozy interior awaiting within those walls, offering respite from the outside world. The meticulously maintained garden adds another layer of enchantment to this idyllic setting. Bursting with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, it invites us to take leisurely strolls along its winding paths or simply sit on one of the benches and immerse ourselves in nature's embrace. This precious glimpse into history was captured by an unknown photographer whose work now resides in West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and allows us to appreciate the beauty that once graced our landscapes. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, let us be transported back to Racton in 1908 - a place where simplicity reigned supreme, gardens flourished with life, and cottages stood as symbols of warmth and comfort.
