EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oast House at Rotherfield, 1907" takes us on a journey back in time to the serene countryside of Sussex. The image showcases a picturesque country lane near Rotherfield, adorned with lush greenery and framed by a charming hedge. Standing proudly behind this natural barrier is an oast house, its distinctive conical roofs instantly capturing our attention. The photographer, John Fletcher, has masterfully captured the essence of rural life in this idyllic corner of West Sussex. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost hear the gentle rustling of leaves and feel the tranquility that permeates every inch of the landscape. The oast house itself stands as a testament to Sussex's rich agricultural heritage. Used for drying hops used in brewing beer, these unique structures are synonymous with the region's history and traditions. Its presence adds depth and character to an already enchanting setting. "Wanderings in Sussex" part of the Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers us glimpses into moments long gone but forever preserved through photography. This particular photograph invites us to immerse ourselves in nature's beauty while also reflecting on how much has changed over more than a century. As we admire this remarkable piece from West Sussex County Council's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its role as a window into our past – reminding us of simpler times and inviting contemplation about our connection to both nature and history.
