EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint English village of Alfriston in Sussex in 1939, showcases the picturesque stone market cross standing proudly in front of a row of historic buildings. The cross, a notable landmark and a symbol of the village's rich history, is flanked by an old smugglers house, a pub, a shop, a chemist, and a bicycle. The scene is idyllic, with the sun casting long shadows on the cobblestone street, adding to the sense of tranquility and timelessness. In the foreground, two boys can be seen engaged in an animated conversation, their bicycles leaning against the wall of the smugglers house. Their laughter and playful banter add a touch of liveliness to the otherwise serene setting. The old pub, with its inviting sign and warm glow, beckons to passersby, promising a cozy respite from the chill of the evening. The village of Alfriston, nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, has a long and fascinating history. Its origins can be traced back to the Saxon era, and the market cross, a reminder of its past as a market town, is a testament to its rich heritage. The old smugglers house, with its intriguing past, adds a touch of mystery to the scene, further enhancing the allure of this charming English village. This photograph, captured in 1939, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time, where the passage of time seemed to move at a slower pace. It is a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the enduring charm of rural England.
