EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Royal Counties Show held at the picturesque Leconfield Estate in June 1962. The image, preserved in a scrapbook on page 71 of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into an era when rural traditions thrived. In this snapshot, we witness a scene filled with energy and charm. A row of elegant Austin cars stands proudly amidst the backdrop of Petworth's rolling hills. Horses and carts line up nearby, showcasing their strength and beauty as they await their turn to participate in the festivities. Adding an air of authority to this lively gathering is a police motorcycle stationed strategically among the crowd. Its presence serves as a reminder that even amidst celebration, order is maintained. The photo evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communities came together to celebrate agricultural achievements and showcase local talent. It captures not just an event but also reflects the spirit of unity that prevailed during such occasions. As we admire this historical photograph from West Sussex County Council's archives, it is important to appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. It transports us back in time, allowing us to connect with our heritage while reminding us of how much has changed since those bygone days.
