EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in December 1941 for Housewife magazine, we are transported back to a simpler time. The image showcases four young girls with beaming smiles, accompanied by a majestic carthorse as they pull a cart through the picturesque countryside of Osmaston. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and innocence as the girls don jodhpurs and riding boots, embracing their adventurous spirit even in the winter months. Against the backdrop of a rustic barn and towering haystacks, one can almost feel the crispness of the winter air. This photograph from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates an era when children found joy in simple pleasures amidst nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of our connection to rural life and how it shaped communities during that period. As we gaze upon this charming image, we are reminded that there is something timeless about these scenes – where laughter echoes across fields and friendships are forged while working together towards common goals. It transports us to an idyllic world far removed from our fast-paced modern lives. Let this photograph serve as an invitation to pause for a moment, reflect on simpler times gone by, and appreciate the enduring beauty found within our own surroundings - whether it be through bustling city streets or peaceful country lanes.
