EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1938, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable scene of tradition and rural beauty. The image showcases the Leconfield Hounds gracefully passing over Stopham Bridge, as if frozen in a moment of elegance and harmony. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured by George Garland, it becomes evident that this is more than just a mere crossing; it is an enchanting display of unity between man, horse, and nature. The hounds and huntsmen navigate the packhorse bridge with utmost poise, their silhouettes contrasting against the rustic backdrop. The timeless charm emanating from this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when traffic lights were nonexistent. Instead, the tranquility of the countryside reigns supreme. Preserved within the West Sussex Record Office's esteemed collection (Ref No. Garland N17672), this image serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of how deeply intertwined humans have been with horses throughout history – relying on them not only for transportation but also for companionship during traditional hunting pursuits. As we admire this extraordinary piece of history through George Garland's lens, let us be reminded to cherish these glimpses into our past that capture moments where simplicity meets grandeur amidst idyllic landscapes like Stopham Bridge in West Sussex County Council's domain.
