EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Chichester Photographic Collection, we are transported back to a winter wonderland in Pagham Harbour on January 16th, 1963. The image captures a moment of pure joy as a man gracefully glides across the frozen sea, indulging in the exhilarating sport of ice skating. His loyal companion, an adorable dog, stands by his side with curious eyes and unwavering support. This photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when communities would come together during the cold winter months to enjoy outdoor activities amidst nature's icy embrace. It serves as a reminder of the extraordinary phenomenon known as "the big freeze" that gripped West Sussex during that era. The frozen sea becomes their dance floor, where both man and dog find solace and freedom in this enchanting spectacle. Their playful interaction showcases not only their deep bond but also highlights the shared delight found in embracing life's simple pleasures. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it transports us back to an era long gone – one filled with innocence and childlike wonderment. It reminds us to cherish those moments when time seems to stand still and our hearts are filled with sheer happiness. This print is part of West Sussex County Council's historical archive held at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref No: CPS 1599/1). Its presence within this collection ensures that these cherished memories will continue to be preserved for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon.
