EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless scene of old craftsmanship meeting modern architecture. The image showcases thatchers diligently working on the roof of a new roadhouse located on the London Brighton Road at Warninglid, near Bolney, Sussex in 1938. These skilled craftsmen are utilizing bundles of reeds brought all the way from the Norfolk Broads to create an authentic thatched roof. The photo transports us back to a bygone era between the wars when traditional techniques were still valued amidst rapid industrialization. It serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and durability of thatched roofs, which have been used for centuries across Europe. The monochrome composition adds depth and texture to this historic snapshot, emphasizing both the intricate details of their workmanship and their dedication to preserving ancient traditions. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances our appreciation for these artisans' expertise. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of the importance of preserving cultural heritage but also how past practices can seamlessly blend with contemporary designs. This photograph is a visual tribute to those who continue to honor age-old crafts while contributing to modern architectural landscapes.
