EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1906, where we find ourselves in the tranquil village of East Marden. The image showcases a remarkable structure that stands proudly over a brick-walled well. Crafted with round timber and adorned with thatch, this open-sided marvel exudes rustic charm and timeless elegance. The photograph, part of the Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into an era when life was simpler and nature's beauty reigned supreme. It captures the essence of rural living in early 20th century England, transporting us to a bygone era filled with simplicity and serenity. As our eyes wander through the frame, we can't help but imagine villagers gathering around this enchanting well for their daily water needs. Perhaps it served as more than just a source of sustenance; maybe it was also a meeting point for locals to exchange stories or share laughter under its protective roof. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every detail of this structure is truly awe-inspiring. The combination of sturdy brickwork forming the foundation alongside the organic curves of round timber creates an architectural harmony that seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings. This print not only preserves history but also evokes emotions within us – nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for human ingenuity. It reminds us to appreciate both our past heritage and the enduring beauty found within West Sussex County Council's archives.
