EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the peaceful countryside of 1960s West Sussex. In this nostalgic scene, we witness a dedicated postman diligently emptying the letterbox along a picturesque country lane. The pathway leads to the charming Ebernoe Church, adding an element of serenity and spirituality to this everyday task. The postman, clad in his traditional uniform, exudes reliability and trustworthiness as he carefully collects letters from the box. His role as a vital link between communities is evident in his focused expression. With each envelope he retrieves, one can almost feel the anticipation and excitement contained within – messages of love, news from afar or perhaps important announcements that will shape lives. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when postal service played an integral part in connecting people across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when handwritten letters were treasured means of communication. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph holds historical significance for both locals and enthusiasts alike. It offers us a glimpse into rural life during mid-20th century Britain while highlighting the unsung heroes who ensured our mail reached its intended destinations promptly and securely. As we admire this remarkable piece from yesteryears, let it serve as a tribute to all those dedicated individuals who carried out their duties with unwavering commitment – bridging gaps between hearts through ink-stained paper envelopes filled with heartfelt words.
