EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1939, we are transported back in time to witness the Opening Meet at Storrington. The Storrington Beagles take center stage as they prepare to embark on their thrilling hunt through the picturesque village. As if frozen in motion, the whipper-in and his loyal hounds command attention as they confidently cross a bustling road, thanks to the diligent efforts of police officers and other officials who halt traffic for their safe passage. The scene is brimming with excitement and anticipation, evident by the enthusiastic spectators lining the streets. Their eyes fixed on this remarkable display of sport and tradition, they eagerly await the chase that will soon unfold before them. Dressed in uniforms befitting such an occasion, these dedicated individuals demonstrate their unwavering commitment to preserving this cherished pastime. This extraordinary photograph captures not only a momentous event but also offers us a glimpse into life during a tumultuous period in history - October 1939 amidst World War II. It serves as a poignant reminder that even during times of uncertainty and upheaval, communities come together to celebrate shared passions. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's esteemed George Garland Collection under Ref. No. Garland N18779, this image stands as testament to our enduring connection with nature and our ability to find solace in age-old traditions like fox hunting – an integral part of British heritage.
