1940s Celebration Christmas Flag Union Jack Vehicle Winter Outing
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pantomime Party - January 1946" we are transported back to a joyous winter celebration in post-war West Sussex. The image showcases an outing organized by the community, where mothers and children eagerly gather outside "The White Horse" pub, their faces beaming with excitement. Many of them proudly hold Union Jack flags, adding a patriotic touch to the festive atmosphere. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the charming charabancs lined up behind the crowd. These vintage vehicles serve as a symbol of unity and resilience during challenging times. They stand tall against the backdrop of a cold winter's day, ready to transport families on an unforgettable adventure. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that this gathering was not just any ordinary trip; it was a special occasion filled with anticipation and merriment. Perhaps these families were heading towards a pantomime show or another form of entertainment that would bring laughter and cheer to all. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph captures both nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for communities coming together after hardship. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, people find solace in shared celebrations and create lasting memories for generations to come.
