This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the Heyshott air-raid shelter in July 1940. As the dark clouds of war loomed over the picturesque village, this flint building stood as a symbol of protection and resilience amidst uncertain times. The photograph, part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that conflict had on rural communities during the 1940s. Nestled within a serene countryside backdrop, this humble haystack-turned-shelter provided solace to villagers seeking refuge from menacing air raids. Its sturdy construction and strategic location offered reassurance to those who sought safety within its walls. In an era defined by fear and uncertainty, this image encapsulates both vulnerability and strength. The Heyshott air-raid shelter represents more than just bricks and mortar; it embodies the spirit of unity and determination that prevailed throughout wartime Britain. It stands as a testament to ordinary people's unwavering resolve in protecting their loved ones against adversity. Preserved for future generations by West Sussex County Council, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in our collective past.
