EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Chichester in 1903. Captured from West Street, it offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural beauty. The image is part of the esteemed John Fletcher Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office. In this snapshot, we see Chichester's iconic market cross standing proudly as the centerpiece of the urban landscape. This magnificent structure has long been a symbol of community gathering and trade within the city walls. Its intricate design showcases an amalgamation of historical influences that have shaped Chichester over centuries. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to an era when horse-drawn carriages filled these cobbled streets and locals went about their daily lives amidst charming buildings that still stand today. The architecture surrounding the market cross reflects both medieval and Georgian styles, reminding us of Chichester's enduring charm. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved by West Sussex County Council, we are reminded not only of our connection to our past but also to our present-day community. This photograph serves as a testament to how cities like Chichester evolve while maintaining their unique character
