EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Crawley, Sussex in 1937. Parked on the side of the road stands a Bedford van proudly displaying the logo of the renowned Crawley Cake and Biscuit Co Ltd. This snapshot from between the wars evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The monochrome image captures not only an iconic vehicle but also offers a glimpse into daily life during this transformative period in history. A man can be seen standing next to the van, perhaps its driver or an employee of the company, ready to embark on another delivery journey. Transportation played a vital role in connecting communities during this time, and this Bedford van was undoubtedly instrumental in delivering delicious treats throughout Sussex. Its presence symbolizes both progress and reliability as it represents one small part of Europe's evolving transport network. Photographer John Topham skillfully immortalizes this moment with his lens, freezing it forever within this timeless photograph. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and hardworking individuals like those at Crawley Cake and Biscuit Co Ltd ensured that life's little pleasures were delivered right to our doorstep
