EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the winter of 1934, where nature's fury unleashed its might upon the quaint village of Pulborough in West Sussex. The image showcases a Southdowns bus bravely navigating through treacherous floods on its way to Brighton, capturing a moment frozen in history by photographer George Garland. The scene is both awe-inspiring and nostalgic, as we witness the power of Mother Nature juxtaposed against man-made structures. The river bank overflows with torrents of water, threatening to engulf everything in its path. Yet amidst this chaos, sturdy railings stand tall as a symbol of resilience and human ingenuity. The Southdowns bus no 22 becomes an emblematic figure within this snapshot; it represents not only public transport but also serves as a testament to the determination and resourcefulness of those who braved these challenging conditions. It reminds us that even during times of adversity, communities come together to ensure life goes on. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N10573, this photograph offers us a glimpse into our past while evoking feelings of admiration for those who faced such hardships with unwavering spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Washington's archives, we are reminded that history has much to teach us about resilience and unity in the face of adversity.
