EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1906, capturing a picturesque view of Selsfield Common: the Mill. The windmill, sadly no longer standing today, stands proudly amidst the serene countryside that surrounds it. This remarkable image is part of the John Fletcher Collection titled "Wanderings in Sussex" housed within the Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office. The windmill itself becomes an instant focal point with its towering presence and intricate design. Its sails gracefully catch the breeze, as if frozen in motion for eternity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship from a bygone era. Surrounded by vast stretches of untouched nature, this scene transports us to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. The lush green fields extend into the distance, merging seamlessly with clear blue skies above. One can almost hear birdsong echoing through these tranquil landscapes. Preserved within this print lies not just an architectural marvel but also a glimpse into history - reminding us of how landscapes change over time and how important it is to preserve our heritage for future generations. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving these invaluable records, we are able to appreciate this snapshot from yesteryears and reflect upon our connection with both nature and history alike.
