EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Snow scenes at Petworth - Town Crier" we are transported back to the enchanting winter of the 1920s in West Sussex. The image captures a picturesque moment on East Street, where the snow-covered cobblestones glisten under the soft glow of street lamps. Standing proudly in his distinguished top hat and warm overcoat, the town crier takes center stage with an air of authority and charm. With his hand bell held high, he commands attention from passersby as he delivers important news and announcements to the townsfolk. His presence adds a touch of nostalgia to this timeless scene, reminding us of a bygone era when communication relied on human connection rather than digital screens. The inclusion of "Peddler". Palmer further enriches this snapshot into history. With his humble cart filled with wares, he traverses through the snowy streets offering goods to those who may need them. Together, these figures represent different facets of life in Petworth during that era – one symbolizing tradition and community engagement while the other embodies resourcefulness and entrepreneurship. Preserved within George Garland's remarkable collection at West Sussex Record Office, this evocative photograph serves as a window into our past. It reminds us not only of simpler times but also highlights how certain traditions have endured throughout generations despite technological advancements
