EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1907, capturing a picturesque view of the windmill at Rye. Standing tall and proud, its sails gracefully turning with the force of the wind, this iconic landmark dominates the backdrop of this enchanting scene. The wooden buildings in front add a rustic charm to the composition, perfectly complementing the timeless beauty of this rural setting. The photograph is part of the esteemed John Fletcher Collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" showcasing his remarkable talent for capturing moments that transport viewers to another era. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, it serves as a testament to both Fletcher's skill as a photographer and his deep appreciation for Sussex's natural wonders. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into an idyllic countryside retreat. The gentle breeze whispers through our hair while birdsong fills our ears. We can imagine strolling along cobbled paths or perhaps even venturing inside one of those charming wooden structures. This print not only captures a specific moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how landscapes evolve over years and centuries. It reminds us that amidst progress and change, there are still pockets where history remains beautifully preserved – like this windmill at Rye – waiting patiently for curious souls to discover their stories once more.
