EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Plaistow on 8th March 1947. The image captures a picturesque view along the road, leading our gaze towards the charming village church. On the left side of the frame, an old school sign stands proudly, evoking nostalgia for days gone by. Behind it, an advertisement for Regent petrol adds a touch of vintage charm to the scene. The composition showcases a quintessential English countryside setting with quaint cottages lining both sides of the road. Their thatched roofs and rustic facades exude timeless beauty against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. A solitary car parked near one of these cottages hints at life's simplicity during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst change, some things remain constant. Intriguingly, a clock is absent from this particular photograph; however, its absence only enhances our curiosity about how time was marked in this idyllic village. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection under reference number Garland N27666, this historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into Plaistow's past. It invites contemplation on how much has changed since then while reminding us to appreciate the enduring beauty found in small communities like Plaistow throughout history.
