EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Ditchling in 1906. The image showcases an old house, proudly standing with its timber frame construction, as if frozen in history. With its charming facade and traditional design, this house exudes a sense of character that is synonymous with the era it represents. Located directly on the street, this house offers a glimpse into daily life during that period. One can imagine families bustling about their day, neighbors exchanging pleasantries from their doorsteps, and children playing games on the cobblestone streets. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when community bonds were strong and life moved at a slower pace. The photograph is part of the John Fletcher Collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" housed within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection. Preserved meticulously by the West Sussex County Council, this historical gem allows us to appreciate our heritage and understand how villages like Ditchling have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured more than a century ago, we are transported back to an era where craftsmanship thrived and architectural beauty was celebrated. This print not only captures one moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own connection to history and appreciate the rich tapestry that makes up our local communities today.
