EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Pause for Wonder: Cyclists Discover the Alfriston Lion, Sussex, England, August 1940" Amidst the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of Sussex, England, the quaint village of Alfriston stands as a testament to the rich history and intrigue that lies hidden within the nooks and crannies of the British Isles. In this image, captured in August 1940, a group of intrepid cyclists pause outside the historic Star Inn, their weathered faces etched with the lines of time and adventure. Their eyes, however, are drawn to an extraordinary sight that beckons them from the inn's ancient facade: the Alfriston Lion. Originally the figurehead of a Dutch warship, the Alfriston Lion has graced the village since the late 16th century, when it was reportedly washed ashore after a violent storm. Over the centuries, the lion has become a cherished symbol of Alfriston, a reminder of the village's maritime past and the unyielding power of the sea. The cyclists, their bicycles leaning against the wall, marvel at the grotesque figure, its intricate details and weathered texture a stark contrast to the pristine machinery of their transport. The map spread out on the ground, no doubt planning their next leg of their journey, they take a moment to appreciate the unexpected discovery, a testament to the serendipitous nature of travel and the enduring allure of the past. As they continue their tour of Sussex, the cyclists carry with them the memory of the Alfriston Lion, a reminder of the hidden gems that await those who venture off the beaten path and the enduring connection between the past and the present.
