EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1908, capturing the picturesque Windmill at Alfriston in all its glory. The viewer is transported to a serene countryside setting, where the windmill stands tall and proud against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush green fields. The composition of this image is truly remarkable, as it perfectly frames the windmill within its natural surroundings. Its sails gracefully catch the breeze, creating a sense of movement frozen in time. One can almost imagine hearing their rhythmic creaking as they spin against an endless blue sky. The photographer behind this masterpiece is John Fletcher, whose collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" showcases his deep appreciation for the beauty found within West Sussex County Council's region. This particular photograph from his collection captures not only the architectural marvel that is the windmill but also highlights the breathtaking landscape that surrounds it. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection under reference PH 26115/93, this print serves as a window into history for those who gaze upon it today. It allows us to reflect on simpler times when windmills were not just functional structures but also symbols of rural life and ingenuity. As we admire this stunning snapshot from over a century ago, let us appreciate both John Fletcher's skillful eye and West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our rich cultural heritage through their photographic collections.
