EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting village of Emsworth in 1908. Standing proudly amidst a picturesque landscape, we are greeted by a unique architectural gem - a round cottage nestled under a thatch roof. Its circular shape is an extraordinary sight, defying convention and exuding charm. The Round Cottage, as it has come to be known, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its builders. With its whitewashed walls and quaint windows adorned with flower boxes, this humble abode emanates warmth and tranquility. The thatched roof adds an element of rustic elegance while blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural beauty. As we gaze at this remarkable structure frozen in time, one can't help but wonder about the lives lived within these walls over a century ago. What stories did they hold? What dreams were dreamt beneath this very roof? Preserved meticulously within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this image serves as both an archival treasure and an invitation for our imagination to wander through history's corridors. It reminds us of the rich heritage woven into every corner of our county. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past; they connect us to those who came before us while inspiring awe for their resilience and resourcefulness. May this photograph continue to captivate hearts for generations to come as it captures the essence of Emsworth's timeless allure.
