EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection offers a mesmerizing glimpse into Henfield Village in 1947. The image showcases a picturesque village lane, adorned with charming thatched and half-timbered houses, exuding an idyllic rural charm. As our eyes wander down the lane, we are drawn towards the magnificent church standing proudly at its end. The scene also captures two contemporary cars, adding a touch of modernity to this timeless setting. On the left-hand side of the lane, one car can be seen parked gracefully by the roadside, while another rests comfortably inside a garage facing us. These vehicles serve as subtle reminders of progress and change amidst this quaint countryside backdrop. Every detail in this photograph speaks volumes about life in Henfield Village during that era. From the meticulously crafted thatch roofs to the intricate timberwork and tile-hung facades, it is evident that immense pride was taken in preserving traditional architectural styles. The presence of telegraph poles subtly hints at connectivity even within such remote settings. This snapshot encapsulates not just physical structures but also tells stories of community spirit and resilience. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under reference number N28894, this remarkable print allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Henfield's rich history - a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring beauty.
