EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Chichester in 1897. The Market Cross stands tall and proud, commanding attention amidst a sea of activity on South Street. This vibrant snapshot captures the essence of a bygone era, where trade and commerce thrived. The scene is teeming with life as pedestrians navigate their way through the busy street. Men and women go about their daily business, perhaps heading to one of the many shops that line the road. The charm of this vintage photograph lies not only in its depiction of a rural Victorian town but also in its ability to evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. The architecture is strikingly beautiful, showcasing an array of buildings adorned with awnings and lamp posts that add character to this urban landscape. It's fascinating to observe how these structures have stood the test of time, preserving history within their walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from the John Fletcher Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back over a century ago when Chichester was abuzz with activity and vitality. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also highlights how much has changed since then
