EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a sunny day in June 1956, where the Midhurst Stoolball Team had just finished an exhilarating match against Wisborough Green. The girls, dressed in their sports attire, stand proudly together on the lush green field of Wisborough Green. Their beaming smiles and triumphant poses reveal the joy and satisfaction that comes from playing this traditional Sussex sport. Photographed by George Garland, a talented local photographer whose collection is now preserved at the West Sussex Record Office, this image captures not only the essence of stoolball but also reflects the spirit of camaraderie among these young athletes. The team's unity is evident as they stand shoulder to shoulder, celebrating their victory with pride. The nostalgic charm of this photograph transports us back to a simpler time when sports were played for pure enjoyment rather than commercial gain. It serves as a reminder of how important community bonds were during those years. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich sporting heritage that exists within West Sussex. This image encapsulates both the passion for stoolball and highlights George Garland's remarkable talent behind the lens. Let it serve as a testament to all those who have dedicated themselves to preserving our history through photography and archiving precious moments like these for future generations to appreciate.
