EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the serene countryside of Cowfold in 1908. Standing tall against a picturesque backdrop, we are greeted by the majestic presence of a windmill at Joulsfield Common. Its weathered sails tell tales of years spent harnessing the power of nature, silently witnessing the passage of time. The mill's sturdy structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rural tranquility, innovation was always at play. The windmill's purposeful existence is beautifully juxtaposed against the idyllic landscape surrounding it – rolling hills dotted with grazing cows and lush greenery stretching far into the distance. This carefully preserved photographic gem from West Sussex Record Office allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but not forgotten. It invites contemplation on how life once revolved around simpler pleasures and sustainable practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. Let it transport us back to a time when windmills were more than just structures; they were symbols of community resilience and self-sufficiency
