1930s Children Country Flint Gate Lane Nostalgia Rural Sussex Tanner
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we are transported back to a simpler time - Christmas Eve in the 1930s. The image captures the essence of rural life in West Sussex, as Grandad makes his way down a picturesque lane, adorned with holly branches. His weathered face reflects years of hard work and wisdom, while his eyes sparkle with anticipation for the festive season. As he approaches the gate leading to his home, three young girls eagerly await him. Their faces light up with joy at the sight of their beloved Grandad returning with nature's decorative gift. Dressed in their school hats and winter coats, they can hardly contain their excitement. The scene exudes nostalgia and warmth; it reminds us of a time when simple pleasures brought immense happiness. The flint walls lining the lane stand tall against time, symbolizing resilience amidst changing seasons. This photo is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a precious glimpse into our county's history and traditions during Christmastime. As we admire this snapshot from long ago, let us be reminded of the importance of family bonds and treasuring those special moments that make this holiday season truly magical.
