EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of South Harting in 1905. Standing proudly in the center of the frame are the old village stocks, a tangible reminder of a bygone era. Nestled amidst the picturesque Sussex countryside, this rural gem exudes an undeniable charm and heritage that transports us to a simpler time. The Edwardian period is beautifully captured here, with its distinct architecture and idyllic landscape serving as a backdrop for these historic stocks. These wooden structures were once used as instruments of punishment, where wrongdoers would be confined and publicly shamed for their transgressions. The mere sight of them evokes mixed emotions - awe at their historical significance yet also relief that such practices have long been abandoned. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's John Fletcher Collection, this print holds immense value for those interested in local history and cultural preservation. It serves as a testament to West Sussex County Council's commitment to safeguarding our rich heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel grateful for how far society has progressed since then. It reminds us to cherish our freedoms while honoring those who came before us. Let this photograph transport you back in time, allowing you to appreciate both the beauty of rural England and how much things have changed over the years – all encapsulated within one remarkable snapshot from West Sussex County Council's archives.
