EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Runcton in 1909. The view captured here is a picturesque scene, looking down a road lined with charming cottages on the right side. It offers a glimpse into the peaceful and idyllic life that once thrived in this West Sussex countryside. The image exudes an air of tranquility as we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages would have trotted along this very road. The cottages, standing proudly with their thatched roofs and white-washed walls, evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. One can almost imagine the sounds of laughter echoing through these streets as children played outside their homes, while adults went about their daily routines. The lush greenery surrounding the cottages adds to the natural beauty of this serene setting. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this snapshot from history allows us to appreciate how much has changed over more than a century. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect upon our own connection with the past. As we gaze at this remarkable photograph, let it transport us back to Runcton in 1909 - a place frozen in time where life was simpler yet filled with its own unique charm and character.
