EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: High Street, Selsey, Sussex, 1916" High Street, Selsey, Sussex, England, 1916, is an evocative snapshot of a bygone era. This historical photograph, captured a century ago, offers a unique perspective into the quaint English seaside town's rich history. The image showcases the High Street of Selsey, a charming and picturesque thoroughfare lined with traditional English shops and houses. The cobblestone street, worn smooth by the passage of time and the elements, is dotted with horse-drawn carts and wagons, a common sight during the early 20th century. On the left side of the street, a butcher's shop can be seen, its windows displaying fresh meat and poultry, while a baker's shop, with its inviting aroma of freshly baked bread, is visible on the right. Further down the street, a grocer's shop, a draper's, and a hardware store add to the vibrant commercial scene. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of everyday life in Selsey during this period. Children play in the street, their laughter carried on the breeze, while adults go about their daily business. A horse and cart, laden with goods, makes its way down the street, its driver dressed in traditional working attire. The High Street of Selsey, Sussex, in 1916, is a testament to the resilience and charm of English rural life. It invites us to take a journey back in time and appreciate the simple pleasures and traditions that have endured through the centuries. This photograph serves as an invaluable historical record, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich heritage of Selsey and Sussex.
