EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting winter of 1938, as captured by the talented lens of George Garland. This print showcases the picturesque Stopham Bridge nestled amidst a pristine countryside blanketed in glistening snow. A true testament to West Sussex's timeless beauty. In this stunning scene, a lone lady stands on the bridge, her figure adorned with a long coat and scarf, braving the chill of winter. Her presence adds an air of serenity and contemplation to this idyllic landscape. As our gaze wanders beyond her silhouette, we notice a telegraph pole standing tall against nature's wintry embrace. An intriguing juxtaposition between old-world communication and Mother Nature's icy touch. Further adding intrigue are traffic lights that stand guard at either end of Stopham Bridge – silent witnesses to countless journeys made over its arches throughout history. Their vibrant hues contrast beautifully against the monochromatic palette created by snow-laden trees and frost-kissed fields. This remarkable photograph from West Sussex County Council's Garland Collection is not just an image frozen in time; it encapsulates the essence of rural life during that era. It invites us to reflect upon simpler times when bridges connected communities physically rather than virtually. A treasured piece from our archives, this print serves as both a visual delight and historical memento for all who appreciate West Sussex's rich heritage.
