This photo print, titled "Sharman, Lickfold - 'Helping' - 1938" transports us back to a simpler time. The image beautifully captures the essence of intergenerational bonding as it portrays an elderly man and a small boy drawing water from a well. In this timeless scene, the weathered face of the elderly man reflects years of hard work and wisdom. With hands firmly gripping the bucket handle, he demonstrates his expertise in fetching water from the depths of the well. Beside him stands a young child, eagerly observing every move with wide-eyed curiosity. The setting exudes tranquility; surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, it is clear that this moment takes place within a garden or perhaps even an idyllic countryside retreat. The pail used for collecting water sits nearby on worn stone steps while sunlight gently illuminates their shared task. This photograph belongs to the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office Ref. No. Garland N17413 – an invaluable treasure preserving slices of history for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how simple acts can forge lasting connections between individuals across generations. It serves as a gentle reminder that amidst our modern lives filled with technological advancements, there is profound beauty in embracing traditions passed down through time – like drawing water from wells – which teach us valuable lessons about resilience and cooperation.
