EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 5th of April, 1893, offering a rear view of St Peter's Church in Brighton. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and intricate details that defined Victorian-era churches. Standing tall against the backdrop of a clear sky, this magnificent structure boasts an impressive tower with a steeple reaching towards the heavens. The church is surrounded by a peaceful graveyard, where history rests beneath weathered tombstones. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, nostalgia washes over us, transporting us to an era long gone but not forgotten. The spire stands as a testament to human craftsmanship and dedication to faith. Its delicate design reaches upwards as if aspiring for divine connection. Through its stained glass windows, sunlight filters into the sacred space within, casting colorful hues onto pews worn from years of worship. This photograph serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact—a window into East Sussex's rich architectural heritage and religious devotion during the late 19th century. It reminds us of how buildings can transcend their physical forms to become symbols of spirituality and community. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref No: PH 26113/16), this image invites contemplation on our shared past while inspiring admiration for those who came before us—craftsmen who built such awe-inspiring structures that continue to stand strong today.
