EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of Victorian England, specifically to the year 1897. The image showcases a picturesque scene along The Upper Brighton Road in Shoreham, West Sussex. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from the John Fletcher Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages and bicycles were the primary means of transport. The roadway stretches out before us, flanked by majestic trees that stand tall and proud against the backdrop of the countryside. Their branches intertwine overhead, creating a natural canopy that provides shade for weary travelers on their journey. The road itself is well-maintained and lined with neatly trimmed hedges, reflecting an attention to detail that was characteristic of Victorian infrastructure. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing photograph, we can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestones and imagine conversations carried by gentle breezes. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace and nature played an integral role in everyday existence. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's dedication to heritage conservation, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our past while also highlighting how far we have come in terms of transportation and development. Let us cherish these moments frozen in time as they remind us of our roots and inspire gratitude for progress made over centuries gone by.
