1930s Character Elderly Jacket Mill Nostalgia Pipe Winter Work Gentleman Shovel Spade
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - "Stoker at a saw mill, West Grinstead, October 1933". The image showcases an elderly gentleman dressed in a cap and jacket, standing proudly amidst the rustic charm of the saw mill. His weathered face tells tales of years spent toiling away in this laborious trade. With his trusty spade resting by his side, this character exudes both strength and wisdom. The nostalgia that emanates from the photograph is palpable, transporting us back to a simpler era where hard work was valued above all else. It is as if we can almost feel the crispness of the winter air surrounding him. The stoker's pipe clenched between his teeth adds an extra layer of authenticity to this snapshot from the 1930s. It speaks volumes about the camaraderie shared amongst workers during those times - taking moments to pause and enjoy life's simple pleasures even amidst demanding tasks. This remarkable piece belongs to the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N8028. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of manual labor but also in its ability to transport viewers into a different era altogether. A true testament to human resilience and determination, this print serves as a reminder of our collective past while inspiring us for what lies ahead.
