EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Petworth in August 1938. The lens captures a picturesque view of Lombard Street, with its quaint cobblestone road stretching into the distance. In this particular frame, our gaze is drawn towards the magnificent spire of the local church, majestically towering above the surrounding buildings. The eye-catching detail that catches one's attention is Miss Agnes T. Westwood's "Fancy Repository" shop on the right side of the foreground. Its inviting storefront displays an array of intriguing trinkets and treasures, tempting passersby to step inside and explore its wonders. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace along these historic streets. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when towns like Petworth exuded charm and character through their unique architecture and community spirit. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge how it encapsulates an important piece of history from West Sussex County Council's archives. This image transports us back to an era where Lombard Street was more than just a street; it was a vibrant tapestry woven with stories waiting to be discovered by those who wandered through its enchanting lanes.
