EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a sunny day on 7 April 1948, at Falmer Pond near Lewes. In this idyllic scene, six children can be seen joyfully paddling in the shallow waters of the pond, their Wellington boots nearly submerged. With eager eyes and curious expressions, they appear to be engrossed in a thrilling search for something hidden beneath the water's surface - perhaps newts or tadpoles. The picturesque backdrop showcases charming houses nestled amidst nature's embrace. The tranquil ambiance of this serene location is beautifully captured in this timeless image. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office with reference number Garland N29838, this remarkable photograph stands as a testament to the innocence and wonder of childhood adventures. It transports us back to an era when simple pleasures were cherished and exploring nature was an everyday delight. As we gaze upon these young boys fishing for treasures within the crystal-clear waters, we are reminded of our own youthful escapades spent discovering life's mysteries. This evocative snapshot serves as a gentle reminder that sometimes it is through such innocent pursuits that we find true happiness and create lasting memories
